Beclomethasone dipropionateThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryBeclomethasone dipropionate is a steroid medication used to reduce inflammation and treat conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and skin allergies. It comes in different forms, including a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler, and aqueous nasal spray. Beclomethasone dipropionate works by blocking inflammation-causing chemicals and is less irritating to the nasal mucosa than other corticosteroids like dexamethasone or prednisolone.

Effectiveness
How Qvar Redihaler Affects PatientsBeclomethasone dipropionate is a drug used to treat chronic inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and dermatoses. It helps to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. When inhaled, it can improve lung function and reduce asthmatic symptoms. However, long-term use or high doses may lead to side effects, such as disruption of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, bone turnover, decreased growth in children, and a higher risk of infections.
How Qvar Redihaler works in the bodyBeclomethasone dipropionate is a type of steroid that helps reduce inflammation. It does this by binding to a receptor in the nucleus of cells, which then changes the genes responsible for inflammation. It stops pro-inflammatory genes from being expressed, which reduces inflammation. It also increases the expression of anti-inflammatory genes, which further lowers inflammation. Finally, it stops the molecules responsible for inflammation from being able to bind to the DNA, which stops further inflammation.

Qvar Redihaler Toxicity & Overdose RiskBeclometasone dipropionate is a relatively low toxicity drug, but if taken in large amounts over a short period of time, it can suppress the body's ability to produce hormones. If taken in excess over a long period of time, it may also lead to adrenal suppression. The oral toxic dose in rats is greater than 3750mg/kg.

Qvar Redihaler Reviews: What are patients saying about Qvar Redihaler?
3Patient Review
6/30/2022 I unfortunately got gum disease from using this treatment. Now I have to get all my teeth replaced.
2.7Patient Review
12/13/2021 I've had the Redihaler for a while now, and unfortunately it has stopped working on me after only using half of the doses. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement, but that one also failed me before I could use all of it. 75 doses is nothing to scoff at! I liked the old style spacer better, to be honest.
2.3Patient Review
4/6/2020 The delivery method failed me. The medicine works if you unscrew the top and take it like a regular inhaler. I couldn't afford to waste the ones I had that quit working, but now I can breathe again.
2.3Patient Review
6/13/2022 I've found that this redihaler doesn't work consistently below 90 degrees. This is really dangerous for anyone who relies on this medication, and it's something that needs to be fixed immediately.
2.3Patient Review
5/29/2019 The new Redihaler failed me when I still had half of the medication left.
