• AEROCORT ROTACAPS (Beclometasone Dipropionate 100mcg + Levosalbutamol 100mcg): A Corticosteroid and Bronchodilator Combination
AEROCORT ROTACAPS are dry powder inhalation capsules containing Beclometasone Dipropionate 100mcg, an inhaled corticosteroid, and Levosalbutamol 100mcg, a short-acting beta₂-adrenergic bronchodilator. This combination is prescribed for the maintenance treatment of asthma by reducing airway inflammation while relaxing airway muscles to improve airflow. The capsules are designed for inhalation using a compatible rotahaler device and should never be swallowed.
The medicine helps control asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath. It is intended for regular maintenance therapy and is not suitable for the immediate relief of an acute asthma attack. AEROCORT ROTACAPS are prescription-only and should be used according to a healthcare provider's instructions.

5. Combines anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator therapy in one inhalation
• How AEROCORT ROTACAPS (Beclometasone Dipropionate 100mcg + Levosalbutamol 100mcg) Works
Beclometasone dipropionate suppresses inflammatory mediators and reduces swelling and mucus production within the airways, improving long-term asthma control. Levosalbutamol selectively stimulates beta₂-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, producing bronchodilation by relaxing airway muscles. Together, these complementary mechanisms reduce airway obstruction, improve airflow, and decrease asthma symptoms when used regularly as prescribed.
