Description
Introduction
Qvar Autohaler is a corticosteroid inhaler used for the prevention of asthma symptoms. Unlike reliever inhalers that act quickly during an asthma attack, Qvar is designed for long-term control by reducing inflammation in the airways. The active ingredient, beclometasone dipropionate, helps to prevent wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness when used regularly.
The Autohaler device is breath-actuated, which means it automatically releases a dose when you begin to inhale. This ensures proper coordination and effective delivery of medication, especially for those who struggle with standard press-and-breathe inhalers.
How It Works
Beclometasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that targets inflammation in the lungs. It works by reducing the activity of immune cells and inflammatory substances in the airways. Over time, this lowers airway sensitivity and reduces the likelihood of asthma attacks.
Regular use allows patients to maintain clearer breathing and enjoy improved quality of life, even during high pollen seasons or exercise.
Why Choose Qvar Autohaler
Qvar Autohaler is a reliable and easy-to-use asthma preventer trusted by thousands of patients in the UK. Its breath-actuated design removes the need for hand-breath coordination, making it ideal for children, the elderly, or anyone who finds standard metered-dose inhalers difficult to use.
Qvar contains an extra-fine formulation of beclometasone, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the lungs for improved asthma control at lower doses. The compact device fits easily into a pocket or bag, encouraging adherence and portability.
Important Note
Qvar is not a rescue inhaler and should never be used for sudden breathing problems. You must use it regularly—even if you feel well. Rinse your mouth after each dose to prevent oral thrush. Always consult your GP before adjusting your dose. Store below 25°C and keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
