Description

Clenil Modulite is a preventative inhaler used to control asthma and manage chronic breathing conditions such as COPD. It contains beclometasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, helping to keep airways open and prevent symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. It is not a rescue inhaler, but a maintenance treatment to be used regularly.

How It Works
Beclometasone acts on the immune system within the lungs to reduce swelling and irritation in the airways. This anti-inflammatory action helps reduce the sensitivity of the lungs to allergens and irritants, making flare-ups and asthma attacks less likely. Clenil Modulite delivers a precise dose of medication with each actuation using a pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI), ensuring consistent and reliable symptom control when used as prescribed.

Why Choose Clenil Modulite Inhaler
Clenil Modulite offers consistent, effective asthma maintenance with a proven safety profile. The pMDI format is compatible with most spacer devices, which can enhance delivery in children or users with coordination difficulties. It is available in multiple strengths to match individual treatment needs. Daily use can significantly reduce the need for emergency reliever medication and improve long-term respiratory health.

Important Note
Clenil Modulite is not suitable for the treatment of acute asthma symptoms or sudden breathing difficulties. Rinse the mouth with water after each use to minimise the risk of oral thrush. Patients with persistent or worsening symptoms should consult their doctor, as treatment may need adjustment. Regular medical review is recommended to monitor asthma control and medication effectiveness.
