Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg (Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Levosalbutamol)
Aerocort rotacaps 100/100mcg is a combination medication of beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol. Both ingredients have different modes of action and show additive effects to cure asthma.Levosalbutamol has a highly selective action on the receptors in bronchial muscle, resulting in dilation of bronchi.Beclomethasone dipropionate is a chemically synthesized glucocorticoid with a potent anti-inflammatory activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity.This combination of both drugs is specially prescribed for those patients who need regular doses of both drugs for treatment of their obstructive airways disease.
What is Aerocort rotacaps 100mcg used for?
Aerocort Rotacaps is a combination drug containing an active (R)-enantiomer of the racemate and a synthetic glucocorticoid with a potent anti-inflammatory activity prescribed for treatment of asthma in patients aged 12 years and older.
How does Aerocort rotacaps work?
Aerocort Rotacaps 100mcg contains two main ingredients Beclomethasone Dipropionate and Levosalbutamol Sulphate. Beclomethasone is a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory properties as it is steroidal drug having high affinity to the cytoplasmic receptors and inhibits the formation of chemical mediators that results in inflammation of lungs. This medication selectively targets on factors causing inflammation and stops them and doesn’t permit them to accumulate and cause asthma.
On other hand, Levosalbutamol Sulphate is a beta receptor agonist and it result in bronchi dilatation effects. Levosalbutamol Sulphate stimulates the beta-2 receptors and results in smooth muscles relaxation of all airways from the trachea to the terminal bronchioles. This chemical promotes relaxing of constricted bronchioles and facilitates the smooth breathing.

How should Aerocort rotacaps be used?
The medicine should be taken as prescribed by your physician. If possible, take the dose at a particular time each day; this will minimize the probability of a missed dose. Generally, 1 or 2 puffs out of your inhaler are efficient to relieve you from the symptoms. Never overdose or under-dose, instead take the prescribed dosage.
How long should you use Aerocort rotacaps?
The medicine should be taken for as long as the doctor has recommended. Always consult your doctor before stopping taking the drug or changing the dosage.

If you miss one dose of Aerocort rotacaps, you should not attempt to double your next dose. Just do follow the regular dosing schedule.
How should Aerocort rotacaps be stored?
Aerocort rotacaps 100mcg should be stored in controlled room temperature and in an airtight container.
What is Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg used for?
Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg contain beclomethasone dipropionate 100mcg and levosalbutamol 100mcg in a fixed-dose dry powder inhaler combination. This formulation uniquely pairs an inhaled corticosteroid (beclomethasone) with levosalbutamol — the pharmacologically active R-enantiomer of salbutamol — providing both immediate bronchodilation and sustained anti-inflammatory control. It is used for asthma management when both maintenance ICS and a fast-acting reliever are required together in a single rotacap.
How does the beclomethasone and levosalbutamol combination work?
Beclomethasone dipropionate reduces airway inflammation over days to weeks of regular use, while levosalbutamol provides rapid bronchodilation within 5 minutes that lasts 4–6 hours. Levosalbutamol (the active R-enantiomer of salbutamol) has approximately twice the bronchodilatory potency of racemic salbutamol at the same dose, with fewer cardiovascular side effects. Together, the combination addresses both the immediate bronchoconstriction and underlying airway inflammation in a single inhalation.
How should Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg be used?
Load one Aerocort Rotacap into the Rotahaler device and close to pierce the capsule. Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece to lips, and inhale forcefully and deeply while the drug is released. Hold breath 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. Aerocort is typically prescribed as 1–2 rotacaps twice daily for regular maintenance. Rinse mouth after each use. Do not swallow the capsule — it is for inhalation only. Check the capsule is empty after each use.
Can Aerocort Rotacaps be used as a rescue inhaler?
While levosalbutamol in Aerocort provides rapid bronchodilation that can relieve acute breathlessness, Aerocort is primarily designed as a regular maintenance combination inhaler, not a standalone rescue device. The ICS component has no acute bronchodilatory effect, and regular high-dose use as rescue therapy would deliver unnecessary beclomethasone. Patients should still keep a separate short-acting bronchodilator (salbutamol MDI) for acute epiSodiumes and use Aerocort as their scheduled maintenance treatment.
Is Aerocort safe for long-term daily use?
Aerocort Rotacaps are designed for regular maintenance use. Beclomethasone 100mcg twice daily is a low-dose ICS — safe for long-term use in adults and children who can use a Rotahaler. Levosalbutamol at the inhaled dose has a good safety profile and is less likely to cause tachycardia and tremor than equivalent racemic salbutamol doses. As with all ICS-containing inhalers, rinse mouth after each dose and monitor for oral thrush.
Who should not use Aerocort Rotacaps 100/100mcg?
Aerocort should be used with caution in patients with thyrotoxicosis, severe cardiovascular disease, or hypokalaemia risk (concurrent diuretics, high-dose beta-agonists). It is not recommended as sole therapy during an acute severe asthma attack requiring hospitalisation. Patients with milk protein allergy should consult their doctor before using any DPI rotacap (which may contain lactose). Known hypersensitivity to beclomethasone or levosalbutamol is a contraindication.
How does levosalbutamol compare to regular salbutamol?
Levosalbutamol (levoalbuterol) is the R-enantiomer of racemic salbutamol (albuterol). It is approximately twice as potent as an equal dose of racemic salbutamol at bronchodilation, meaning lower doses achieve equivalent or better bronchodilation. It may also cause fewer side effects — less tremor, less tachycardia — as the S-enantiomer (responsible for some adverse effects) is absent. Aerocort provides 100mcg levosalbutamol, equivalent to approximately 200mcg of racemic salbutamol in bronchodilatory effect.
How does Aerocort compare to a separate ICS + SABA inhaler approach?
Aerocort Rotacaps offer the convenience of combining ICS and bronchodilator in one device, simplifying the regimen and potentially improving adherence. The levosalbutamol component also provides some bronchodilation that enhances drug deposition of beclomethasone. However, the fixed combination limits flexibility in adjusting ICS and bronchodilator doses independently. For patients needing different ICS doses or a LABA for maintenance, separate inhalers or ICS/LABA combinations may be more appropriate.

What side effects does Aerocort Rotacap 100/100mcg cause?
Levosalbutamol is a more refined form of regular salbutamol used to relieve asthma and breathing problems. Both medicines help relax the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. However, levosalbutamol mainly contains the active part of salbutamol that provides the desired effect, so it may cause fewer side effects like shakiness, nervousness, or a fast heartbeat in some people. Because of this, levosalbutamol is sometimes preferred for patients who are sensitive to regular salbutamol or need long-term breathing support.
What precautions apply to Aerocort Rotacaps users?
Always rinse mouth and gargle after each dose to prevent oral thrush from the beclomethasone. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Monitor heart rate if you notice palpitations. Maintain adequate potassium intake — hypokalaemia risk is increased with concurrent diuretics or high-dose beta-agonist therapy. Keep a separate short-acting salbutamol inhaler for acute attacks. Never use Aerocort as a sole rescue therapy in a severe exacerbation. Schedule asthma reviews every 3–6 months to reassess control.
