Clenil Modulite Inhaler

Clenil Modulite is classified as a preventer inhaler. It is usually prescribed to people who are in need of a reliever inhaler more than twice a week for the relief of breathing difficulties. It is also prescribed for asthma sufferers whose sleep has been disturbed more than once a week. Clenil Modulite is used regularly on a daily basis to reduce the inflammation of the lungs and prevent shortness of breath, wheezing, and asthma attacks.

Breathing usually improves between three to seven days after starting the treatment. It is important that you keep using this inhaler regularly even if asthma symptoms have improved significantly. It will prevent breathing problems from coming back.

For more information on the prescription medication patients should refer to the Clenil Modulite patient information leaflet.

Clenil Modulite inhaler contains beclometasone as its active ingredient. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid.

Corticosteroids are hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands. They are important in controlling inflammatory responses. Beclometasone is a man-made derivate of these natural hormones. It is used to reduce inflammation in the lungs.

When beclometasone is breathed in, it is absorbed into the cells of the airways and the lungs, stopping the cells from releasing chemicals that cause immune and allergic responses that result in inflammation. By stopping the release of the chemicals, beclometasone reduces the inflammation in the lungs that constricts the airways, making it difficult for the air to get in and out. Regular use of beclometasone helps in preventing the attacks of asthma and wheezing.

It is difficult to control asthma attacks once they occur and you may worry about inducing an asthma attack when doing exercise or during your stressful periods. Using beclometasone every day can avoid the symptoms of asthma even before they occur and help you lead a normal life. Clenil Modulite can also be used in conjunction with reliever treatments in the occasion of an unexpected attack.

Clenil Modulite inhaler should be used twice a day each day on a regular basis, as directed by your doctor. Strictly follow the instructions of your doctor on how to properly use your inhaler and how many puffs you need to take each time.

Abruptly stopping treatment could cause your asthma to flare-up again.

If you are using a reliever inhaler at the same time you are using Clenil Modulite, use the reliever inhaler first to open your airways before you take a dose from Clenil Modulite inhaler.
