Description

AEROCORT Inhaler is a combination of beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol, which have different modes of action and show additive effects. Levosalbutamol is the active (R)-enantiomer of the racemate, salbutamol. It is a single-isomer, beta2-agonist that differs from racemic salbutamol by the elimination of (S)-salbutamol, which is inactive. Levosalbutamol has a highly selective action on the receptors in bronchial muscle, resulting in bronchodilation. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a synthetic glucocorticoid with a potent anti-inflammatory activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity. This combination of levosalbutamol and beclomethasone dipropionate is specially provided for those patients who require regular doses of both drugs for treatment of their obstructive airways disease.
