Salbutamol + Beclometasone

Introduction

Salbutamol + Beclometasone is a combination medication commonly used for managing respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbutamol is a fast-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, providing quick relief from breathing difficulties. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the airways, preventing asthma attacks and improving overall lung function. Together, this combination provides both immediate relief and long-term control, making it a preferred choice for patients with persistent respiratory issues.
