What is Qvar Redihaler

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 for Controller Medication for Asthma
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.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
Half the time, the medication is dispersed as soon as I open the cover. This dispersion rate isn't consistent, and it's frustrating to have to keep reopening and closing the lid to get more of the medication. The old qvar worked great--this new version is a ripoff.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
I've been less than pleased with this new dispenser. For the last three months, it's run out of doses before the canister is even close to empty. Also, when I open the cap, a dose is delivered immediately rather than letting me get the medication myself. This has been an extremely frustrating and costly experience.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
The new design RediHaler is unfortunately very ineffective. It stopped delivering the medication with more than half the medication left in the canister. My asthma symptoms were out of control before I realized the problem was with not getting any medication from the inhaler. The older Qvar consumol inhaler was much more reliable and effective.

I'm really disappointed in this inhaler. Not only does it often stop working with doses still remaining, but the medicine itself isn't very effective either.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
Qvar was working great for me until they switched to the redihaler, which has had nothing but problems. It squirts while closing the cover after inhalation, so I'm not getting the correct dose. And then my asthma gets worse, so I know it's not working. I found a hack, though: if you peel off the label and twist the top part counterclockwise, it comes right off. Remove the cap and use it like a traditional inhaler.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
The design of this product is very flawed--I have to twist the top off and use it as a normal inhaler in order to get any benefit from it. I have several of these that still have doses left, but I'm extremely disappointed with how much time and money I've wasted on them.

QVAR was a total bust for my child. We went through three inhalers without any of them working before finally finding one that did the trick. The company has been unresponsive to our attempts to get reimbursed for the $168 we had to spend out-of-pocket.
