Aerocort Inhaler
Product Description
Aerocort inhaler is a combination inhalation therapy used for the maintenance treatment of asthma. It contains beclometasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the airways, and formoterol fumarate, a long-acting bronchodilator that helps keep the airways open. This dual-action approach supports improved breathing and helps reduce the frequency of asthma symptoms when used regularly as directed by a healthcare professional.
How Aerocort Inhaler Works
This inhaler delivers medication directly to the lungs for targeted action. Beclometasone works by reducing swelling and irritation in the airway lining, while formoterol relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways. Together, they help maintain open air passages and support easier breathing over time.
