How Beclomethasone+Levosalbutamol works

Beclomethasone is an inhalation corticosteroid. It blocks the release of certain chemicals in the airways that cause inflammation and swelling. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and widens them. Collectively, this medicine reduces airway inflammation, allows the air to pass through more freely through the airways and makes breathing easier.
