Beclate Inhaler 200 Mcg is a prescription inhaler that helps prevent and control asthma. It contains beclometasone, an inhaled corticosteroid. Beclometasone lowers swelling and irritation inside the airways. That lowers wheeze, chest tightness, cough, and breathlessness. This makes breathing easier over time. Use it every day as your doctor tells you.

Key Features

How does Beclate Inhaler 200 Mcg work?

Beclometasone is a corticosteroid. When inhaled, it acts on cells in the airway lining. It slows the immune signals that cause swelling and mucus. Over days to weeks, the airways become less swollen and more open. This helps breathing and reduces flare-ups. Inhaled beclometasone mainly works in the lungs and has low systemic activity when used correctly. 

Why choose this inhaler?

Beclate Inhaler 200 Mcg is a simple, single-drug preventer. It is useful when daily steroid control is needed. For many patients, beclometasone gives reliable symptom control with limited whole-body effects. Newer inhaler forms (extrafine particles) reach deep parts of the lung and may improve delivery. Talk to your doctor about the best device for you. 

Uses

• Daily maintenance of asthma in adults and adolescents. 
• Long-term control to reduce the chance of severe attacks. 
• Not for emergency relief of sudden breathlessness. Use a short-acting bronchodilator then. 

Typical dosage

Common starting doses are low to moderate and depend on age and asthma severity. A typical adult dose can be one or two puffs twice daily, but follow your doctor’s instructions. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice. The inhaler must be used every day for best effect. For exact dosing, the formal product label and your prescriber’s guidance are the source. 

How to use Beclate Inhaler 200 mcg—step by step

1. Shake the inhaler well.
2. Remove the cap and check the mouthpiece.
3. Breathe out fully, away from the inhaler.
4. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and close your lips around it.
5. Start to breathe in slowly. Press the canister once at the start of the breath.
6. Keep breathing in slowly and deeply.
7. Hold your breath for 5–10 seconds. Then breathe out gently.
8. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out. Do not swallow. This lowers the chance of mouth thrush. 

Pharmacokinetics 

When inhaled correctly, most of the medicine acts in the lungs. Only a small portion reaches the rest of the body. The swallowed fraction is broken down in the liver. Newer extrafine beclometasone formulations are designed to improve lung deposition and reduce throat deposits. This can improve effectiveness and lower side effects. 

Common side effects

Most side effects are mild and often fade with time. They include:

• Throat irritation or sore throat.
• Hoarseness or change in voice.
• Cough right after inhaling.
• Oral fungal infection (thrush) if you do not rinse the mouth.

If you notice these, rinse and spit after use. If symptoms persist, see your doctor. 

Serious but rare side effects

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty).
• Signs of adrenal suppression with long-term, high-dose steroid use (tiredness, weakness).
• Growth slowing in children on long-term inhaled steroids has been reported. Monitor growth when giving inhaled steroids to children. 

Interactions and warnings

• Inform your doctor about all medicines you take, including inhalers and herbal products. Some medicines can affect steroid levels or asthma control. 
• Be careful with strong enzyme inhibitors that may raise steroid levels. Your doctor will check for interactions. 
• If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, tell your prescriber. They will weigh benefits and risks. 

Use in children

Inhaled beclometasone is used in children who need daily asthma control. However, some studies show that beclometasone 200 mcg twice daily in children can slow growth by a small amount in the first year of treatment. Growth should be monitored, and the lowest effective dose should be used. Discuss this with your child’s doctor. 

Clinical evidence—what studies show

Reviews and clinical trials show that inhaled beclometasone reduces airway inflammation and improves control when used as maintenance therapy. It performs well compared to placebo and is broadly effective across different patient groups. Studies also compare beclometasone with other inhaled steroids; results vary by dose and device. Newer extrafine formulations may improve lung delivery and symptom control. 

Practical tips

• Use the inhaler every day, even when you feel well. That keeps inflammation down. 
• Keep a rescue inhaler (short-acting bronchodilator) for sudden attacks. Beclate is not for rescue. 
• Rinse your mouth after each use to cut the chance of thrush. 
• Carry your asthma action plan. Know when to seek urgent help. 

Conclusion

Beclate Inhaler 200 Mcg is a daily preventer inhaler that contains beclometasone. It lowers airway inflammation and reduces asthma symptoms when used regularly. It is not for sudden attacks. Use the inhaler as prescribed, rinse your mouth after each use, and keep your doctor informed about side effects or any worsening symptoms. Clinical reviews and product labels support its role as a safe and effective inhaled steroid when used correctly.
