About BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG

BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG belongs to the class of medicines called corticosteroids used to prevent or control symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG contains Beclometasone which works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.

Use BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you use BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects such as hoarseness, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing accompanied by swollen glands and ear pain, thrush (white spots in the mouth and throat), and change in taste. Most of these side effects of BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Beclometasone, any other medicines or lactose, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG. BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG should be used for children only if advised by a doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat foods rich in potassium such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots as potassium is important for lung function and a deficiency in potassium may cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus which makes it easier to cough out.
  • Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled food, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, and bottled lemon and lime juice as it may worsen asthma symptoms.
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
  • Do meditation, deep breathing, regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
  • Quit smoking as it may reduce the effectiveness of the BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG and irritate the lungs worsening breathing problems.

Special Advise

  • You are advised to rinse your mouth with water after each dose of BECLATE ROTACAPS 100MCG because it not only removes the taste of medicine inhaled but also helps to avoid fungal infections in the mouth and throat. After rinsing your mouth thoroughly, you may drink water, milk or any liquids.
