What Experts Say

Salbutamol is a short acting beta agonist. It relaxes the muscles around the airways, so breathing feels easier within minutes. It is the standard reliever medicine for asthma and COPD.

Beclomethasone dipropionate is an inhaled corticosteroid. It lowers swelling and mucus inside the airways, which reduces how often attacks happen. It works slowly and needs regular use. Inhalers deliver the drug straight to the lungs, so a much smaller dose works than with tablets. Poor technique is a common reason for weak results, and a spacer can help children and older adults.

Using both together suits people who need quick relief and inflammation control. Guidelines advise that steroid inhalers are best taken exactly as prescribed. Rinsing the mouth after each use helps prevent thrush and hoarseness. Regular checkups let the doctor step the dose down once asthma is stable. Anyone whose symptoms worsen despite treatment should seek urgent medical care.

Risks and warnings

• Oral thrush: Rinse the mouth after each dose to reduce the chance of a fungal infection in the mouth.
• Heart and thyroid problems: Salbutamol can speed up the heartbeat, so people with heart disease or an overactive thyroid need caution.
