Kelhale Inhaler

Kelhale Inhaler contains beclometasone dipropionate, which is one of a group of medicines known as corticosteroids.

A Kelhale Inhaler is used to prevent the symptoms of mild, moderate, or severe asthma, in adults over 18 years of age who require regular treatment.

A Kelhale Inhaler works deep in your lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the inflammation, swelling and irritation in the airways. This type of medicine is known as a preventer. It needs to be taken regularly every day, even if you have no symptoms. This inhaler will not give immediate relief of wheezing or breathlessness during a sudden asthma attack. You will need to use a reliever inhaler, which contains a different medicine.
