What Is Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg?

Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg are dry-powder capsules containing beclometasone dipropionate 400 mcg. Beclometasone belongs to a group of medicines known as inhaled corticosteroids and is used for the regular management of asthma. The product is manufactured by Cipla Ltd.

After inhalation, beclometasone acts mainly in the airways, where it helps reduce inflammation associated with asthma. Beclate Rotacaps are intended to be used with the appropriate inhalation device and should not be swallowed. The 400 mcg refers to the strength of beclometasone in each Rotacap; it does not mean that 400 mcg is the appropriate dose for every person.

What Are Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg Used For?

Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg are used for the regular management of asthma. It can involve inflammation and increased sensitivity of the airways, which may contribute to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Beclometasone helps reduce inflammation in the airways when used regularly. It is therefore intended as a maintenance medicine rather than as a quick-relief treatment for sudden breathing difficulties.

Beclate may be prescribed as part of an asthma treatment plan when an inhaled corticosteroid is considered appropriate. The reason for treatment and the required strength depend on the individual’s asthma and previous treatment.

How Does Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg Work?

Beclate 400 mcg contains beclometasone, which is an inhaled corticosteroid. After the medicine is inhaled, it acts in the airways and reduces inflammatory activity.

Inflammation can cause the airway lining to become swollen and more sensitive. By reducing this inflammation, beclometasone helps with ongoing control of asthma symptoms.

Because its role is regular control of airway inflammation, Beclate 400 Rotacaps is different from a quick-relief inhaler used for sudden asthma symptoms. It should be used according to the prescribed schedule rather than only when symptoms occur.

Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg Dosage Guide

The dose of Beclate 400 mcg rotacaps is not the same for everyone. It can depend on the severity of asthma, previous inhaled corticosteroid treatment and how the individual responds to therapy.

The 400 mcg strength should not be treated as a standard dose simply because it appears on the product name. Use the dose and frequency prescribed by your doctor.

How to Take

Beclate Rotacaps are designed to be inhaled using the appropriate device. Do not swallow the Rotacap. The exact steps can vary depending on the inhaler being used, so follow the instructions supplied with the device. In general:

1. Remove the Rotacap from its packaging when ready to use it.
2. Place the capsule in the appropriate chamber of the inhaler.
3. Prepare the inhaler according to its instructions.
4. Breathe out gently, away from the mouthpiece.
5. Place the mouthpiece between your lips.
6. Inhale deeply through the device so the powder can reach the lungs.
7. Hold your breath briefly if comfortable.
8. Remove the inhaler and breathe out normally.
9. If another dose has been prescribed, repeat the process as directed.
10. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after using the medicine.

If you are unsure whether you are using the device correctly, ask your pharmacist or healthcare professional to check your inhaler technique.

Missed Dose

If you forget a scheduled dose, take it when you remember unless it is nearly time for your next dose. If the next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

Overdose

Do not use more Beclate 400 than prescribed. Using excessive amounts, particularly over a prolonged period, can increase exposure to corticosteroids and may increase the risk of unwanted effects.

If you think you have taken substantially more than prescribed, seek medical advice rather than taking further doses to compensate.

Beclate Rotacaps 400 mcg Side Effects

Beclate may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Because the medicine is inhaled, some of the more common problems can affect the mouth and throat.

If your asthma symptoms are getting worse or your usual reliever is not providing the expected relief, contact a healthcare professional rather than increasing the Beclate dose yourself.

This is not a complete list of interactions. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about prescription medicines, herbal  products, over-the-counter supplements and other corticosteroids you use. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without medical advice simply because you are starting Beclate.
