Dosage
Qvar®

The dose of beclomethasone inhaler should be individualized. The dose used should be the lowest one required to control asthma symptoms.

For adults and children over 12 years of age, the usual dose ranges from 50 µg to 400 µg twice daily (the number of inhalations varies depending on strength of medication used).

For children 5 to 11 years of age, the usual dose is 50 µg to 100 µg twice daily.

Once your asthma symptoms are controlled, your doctor may suggest that you reduce the dose gradually to ensure you are using the lowest dose needed.

Inhaled beclomethasone is used to prevent asthma attacks. It is not used to relieve an attack that has already started. For relief of an asthma attack that has already started, you should use a "reliever" medication. If you do not have another medication to use for an attack or if you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.

If your doctor has asked you to use a "reliever" inhaler such as salbutamol or terbutaline with your beclomethasone inhaler, you should use the reliever inhaler first, wait several minutes, and then use the beclomethasone inhaler. The reliever medication will provide immediate relief of symptoms of the asthma attack, while the beclomethasone inhalation works to treat and control asthma regularly.

See the package insert or speak with your pharmacist for instructions on using the inhaler properly.

Rinsing your mouth and gargling with water after each dose can help prevent hoarseness, throat irritation, and infection in the mouth caused by Candidiasis (a type of yeast infection of the mouth, also known as "thrush"). If you have dentures, they should be cleaned after each dose.

Use Qvar (Beclomethasone-inh) only as directed. Do not use more of it and do not use it more often than what your doctor recommended. Doing so may increase the chance of side effects.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to use Qvar (Beclomethasone-inh) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Also do not stop using beclomethasone inhaler suddenly without talking to your doctor.

Store Qvar (Beclomethasone-inh) at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not puncture the canister and do not store the medication near heat or an open flame. The canister may burst if it is exposed to high temperatures.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
