Description
About Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg
Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg is a combination medication used to treat asthma. It contains two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol (100mcg) and Beclometasone (100mcg). Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the airways, making it easier to breathe. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, preventing and controlling asthma symptoms.
Uses of Aerocort Rotacaps
Aerocort Rotacaps are primarily used to treat and manage asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in adults and children aged 4 years and above. The combination of Levosalbutamol and Beclometasone in Aerocort Rotacaps helps relieve the symptoms of these respiratory conditions, including wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.
When used regularly as prescribed, Aerocort Rotacaps can help prevent and control the symptoms of asthma and COPD, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Working of Aerocort
Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg effectively manages asthma by combining two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol and Beclomethasone. Levosalbutamol acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing and widening the airways to facilitate easier breathing.
Alternatively, Beclomethasone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation in the airways when inhaled directly into the lungs. This combination targets asthma symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath at the source, offering localized relief with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral medications.
This targeted approach ensures efficient management of asthma symptoms, helping you breathe easier and live more comfortably.
