How does Aerocort Rotacaps work?

Beclometasone Dipropionate is renowned as a preventer. It is used to prevent asthma and control its symptoms. 

Beclometasone is given to people with severe asthma whose symptoms can't be controlled by other medicines.

It calms the immune system and decreases lung swelling while relieving breathing problems. 

Beclometasone treats coughing that can't be stopped and wheezing attacks.

Levosalbutamol is also used to treat asthma, a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) lung disease. 

The active agent Levasalbutamol works by loosening the airway muscles and opening up the airways. This facilitates breathing.

By relaxing the muscles in the airways, Aerocort helps get more air to the lungs.

Together the two active agents present in Aerocort Rotacaps facilitate easy breathing for folks suffering from resperatory problems.
