Why should Qvar Inhalation Aerosol not be prescribed?
Your doctor will prescribe beclomethasone only if your asthma cannot be controlled with bronchodilators and other nonsteroid medications. Beclomethasone is not used for the treatment of non-asthmatic bronchitis, or for intermittent asthma therapy. Do not use beclomethasone nasal products if you’ve recently had nasal ulcers, nose surgery, or an injury to the nose. It could interfere with the healing process. If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to beclomethasone or other steroid drugs, you should not take Qvar Inhalation Aerosol. Rare cases of immediate and delayed allergic reactions, such as hives, a rash, or wheezing, have occured. Make sure that your doctor is aware of any drug reactions that you have experienced. Although unlikely, immediate allergic reactions to beclomethasone have been known to occur.
