About Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's

Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's is a combination medication used to treat asthma. Asthma is a respiratory condition caused by hypersensitive airways, which become inflamed, swollen and filled with mucous, making breathing difficult. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough.

Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's contains Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid) and Levosalbutamol sulphate (bronchodilator). Beclomethasone dipropionate works by preventing the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Levosalbutamol sulphate works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thereby, Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's makes breathing easier.

Use Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's as prescribed. In some cases, Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's may cause certain common side effects such as thrush, hoarseness of voice and headache.

Medicinal Benefits

Aerocort Forte Rotacaps 30's is a combination respiratory medicine containing Beclomethasone dipropionate and Levosalbutamol sulphate. It is used primarily to treat asthma. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a steroid that inhibits and suppresses inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells. Levosalbutamol sulphate is a short-acting beta-agonist which stimulates the smooth muscle cells of the airways to relax, thereby easing the free flow of air.
