BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE
Beclomethasone dipropionate is used for the long-term management of asthma in adults and children as young as five years old. It helps patients by providing preventative therapy to keep symptoms under control over time. It is important to note that this medication is not meant to provide quick relief during a sudden asthma attack or acute bronchospasm.
How BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE Works
This drug works by reducing inflammation in the airways through the inhibition of various inflammatory cells and mediators like histamine and cytokines. Once inhaled, it quickly converts into an active form that binds strongly to glucocorticoid receptors. This process helps manage asthma by focusing anti-inflammatory activity directly in the lungs while minimizing effects throughout the rest of the body.
