Use of inhaled beclamethasone dipropionate in daily doses in excess of 1,500 micrograms over prolonged periods may lead to adrenal suppression. Monitoring of adrenal reserve may be indicated. Treatment should be continued at a dose sufficient to control asthma.

The successful result of treatment depends on the correct use of the inhaler. Inhaler’s working test: before using the inhaler for the first time or if it has not been used for three days or more, remove the mouthpiece protective closure by softly pressing it on its sides and press once in the air to release an actuation, so as to verify the correct working of the inhaler.

For use, carefully follow the following instructions:

1. hold the actuator between thumb and index finger, with the mouthpiece downwards;
2. remove the protective cap;
3. place the mouthpiece firmly between the lips and make a complete breath;
4. make a long and deep inspiration with the mouth only and, at the same time press once only with the index finger.

Once the inspiration is complete, hold breath as long as possible.

When inhalations are completed, close the mouthpiece again with the protective cap. The mouthpiece should always be kept clean. Cleaning should be made with lukewarm water, after having extracted the pressurised canister.

Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
