Beclomethasone Dipropionate
Beclomethasone dipropionate (Topical/Inhalational)
Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching. Depending on its formulation (cream, ointment, or inhaler), it works by suppressing the immune response and decreasing the release of inflammatory substances. It is widely used in asthma, allergic rhinitis, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Therapeutic Uses
Prevention of asthma symptoms such as wheezing and breathlessness
Reduction of skin inflammation, redness, and itching
Management of allergic rhinitis and nasal congestion
Treatment of nasal polyps by reducing their size
How It Works
Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a prodrug that becomes active after conversion in the body. It blocks prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are responsible for inflammation flare-ups in the lungs and skin.
