YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST.

WHAT'S IN QVAR
INHALER
The name of your medication is
QVAR Inhaler. It contains a
medicine called beclomethasone
dipropionate. Beclomethasone
dipropionate belongs to the
corticosteroid family of medicines.
The amount of medicine in each puff
of QVAR 50 Inhaler is 50
micrograms of beclomethasone
dipropionate, and 100 micrograms in
each puff of QVAR 100 Inhaler.
Each QVAR 200 dose Inhaler
contains at least 200 puffs.
WHAT QVAR INHALER
IS USED FOR
QVAR Inhaler is designed so the
medicine can be inhaled (breathed in)
into the lungs to help manage
asthma.
Asthma causes the lining of your
lungs to become inflamed (red and
swollen), making it difficult for you
to breathe.
QVAR Inhaler acts directly on your
air passages to reduce inflammation.
This helps to improve your condition
and to prevent asthma attacks from
occurring.
QVAR Inhaler is therefore known as
a “PREVENTER” medicine. It must
be used every day even if you have
no symptoms.
There is no evidence that QVAR
Inhaler is addictive.
Perhaps your doctor has prescribed
QVAR Inhaler for another reason.
Ask your doctor if you have any
questions.
QVAR Inhaler is only available with
a doctor’s prescription.
