Quick Overview:
Aerocort Rotacaps combine an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) with a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) to target both the underlying inflammatory changes and immediate bronchoconstriction in the respiratory tract.
Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a synthetic corticosteroid that exerts localized anti-inflammatory effects within the lungs. It works by downregulating inflammatory pathways, suppressing cytokines, and reducing capillary permeability. This decreases mucosal swelling, mucus hypersecretion, and hyperreactivity in the bronchial airways.
Levosalbutamol is the single, therapeutically active (R)-enantiomer of albuterol. It functions as a highly selective beta_2-adrenergic receptor agonist. When bound to smooth muscle receptors in the airway, it activates adenylyl cyclase, rising cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. Increased cAMP triggers rapid relaxation of the bronchial muscles, causing bronchodilation that relieves active shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

Uses / Indications
Maintenance Therapy for Asthma: Used for the regular, long-term prevention and management of chronic asthma symptoms.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps relieve bronchospasms and persistent airway limitation associated with chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Key Benefits
Dual Mechanism Control: Simultaneously addresses active muscle spasms (via levosalbutamol) and structural mucosal inflammation (via beclomethasone).
Direct-to-Lung Action: Delivers active medication straight to the target airway tissue, ensuring quick clinical relief while lowering systemic drug exposure.
Improved Daily Breathing: Enhances peak expiratory flow rates, helping patients maintain a more active lifestyle with fewer acute flare-ups.
As Directed by a Physician: The dosing frequency (commonly 1 to 2 rotacaps taken 2 to 4 times daily) must be strictly individualized based on clinical severity.
Throat irritation, dry mouth, or mild coughing immediately after use
Voice hoarseness or changes (dysphonia)
Fine muscle tremors (especially noticeable in the hands)
Palpitations or a mild increase in heart rate (tachycardia)
Headache or dizziness
- Store in a cool dry place
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Keep out of reach of children
