Product Details

The Bekson Forte Hfa Inhaler 250Mcg is a precision-engineered inhaler designed to manage asthma symptoms effectively. This inhaler contains Beclomethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the airways. Each inhaler delivers a dose of 250 mcg of medication, making it a vital tool for individuals requiring consistent asthma control. Manufactured by GETZ PHARMA PAKISTAN (PVT) LTD, this product adheres to high-quality standards to ensure reliable performance.

Purposes

The primary use of the Bekson Forte Hfa Inhaler is for the prophylactic management of asthma in both adults and children. It is designed to prevent asthma attacks and manage symptoms associated with asthma by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways. Regular use, even when symptoms are not present, is crucial for optimal control and effectiveness.

Warning’s

Patients using the Bekson Forte should be aware of several important warnings. If there is a lack of response or severe exacerbations, the dosage may need to be adjusted, and systemic steroids or antibiotics might be necessary. Special care is required during the initial months of treatment to ensure the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system recovers adequately. Additionally, patients may experience hoarseness or throat irritation; rinsing the mouth after use and considering a spacer device can help mitigate these issues.

Adverse Effects

The Bekson Forte 250Mcg may cause several adverse effects. Potential side effects include candidiasis of the throat and mouth, hoarseness, throat irritation, and paradoxical bronchospasm. Long-term use or high doses may lead to systemic effects such as adrenal suppression, growth retardation, decreased bone mineral density, cataracts, and glaucoma. Hypersensitivity reactions and psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and sleep disturbances, have also been reported.

Cautions

When using the Bekson Forte Inhaler, it is essential to follow proper inhaler technique and ensure regular use as prescribed, even if symptoms are not apparent. Patients should be instructed thoroughly on how to use the inhaler and monitored for any adverse reactions. Those with a history of hypersensitivity or local infections should avoid this medication. Always consult with a healthcare provider to confirm that this inhaler is appropriate for your condition and to manage any potential interactions with other medications.
