Aerocort Rotacap

Product Overview

Aerocort Rotacap is prescribed to help manage asthma symptoms such as wheezing and breathlessness. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing easier airflow and better breathing.

Your doctor will guide you on the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your condition. It’s important to use the smallest dose that effectively controls your symptoms. Although some benefits may be seen within a few days, full improvement usually takes a few weeks of consistent use. Regular usage is crucial even if you feel well, as this helps maintain control over asthma. Stopping the medication abruptly may lead to worsening symptoms. Aerocort Rotacap is not suitable for sudden asthma attacks—you should rely on a fast-acting inhaler for such emergencies. Correct inhalation technique is essential for optimal results, so follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.

Common side effects include hoarseness, throat soreness, fungal infections in the mouth, respiratory infections, headaches, and muscle cramps. These effects are generally mild and temporary, and you can reduce some of them by rinsing your mouth after use. If side effects continue or cause concern, speak to your doctor. Avoid triggers such as smoking and allergens to better manage your asthma.

Discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting this treatment. Also, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney conditions to ensure the correct dosage is prescribed.

Benefits

For Asthma
Asthma narrows the airways, making breathing difficult. Aerocort Rotacap helps by opening up these air passages, making it easier to breathe. It provides relief from symptoms like chest tightness, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Along with medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and yoga may support better long-term respiratory health.

How to Use

Rotacaps should not be swallowed. Before using, read the instructions carefully. Insert the capsule at the base of the inhaler, not in the mouthpiece. Close and twist the mouthpiece until you hear a click, then breathe in deeply through the device. Hold your breath for up to 10 seconds before exhaling. If any powder remains, repeat the inhalation process.

How It Works

Aerocort Rotacap combines two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol and Beclometasone. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping them open up. Beclometasone is a steroid that reduces inflammation by blocking substances that cause swelling in the airways. Together, they improve airflow and ease breathing.
