Clenil
Clenil contains beclometasone dipropionate, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces inflammation in the lungs. Unlike reliever inhalers, Clenil must be used regularly every day, even when feeling well, to build up long-term protection against asthma attacks.
Dosage by Body Weight
Dosing is customized by a physician based on severity and age rather than weight. Shake the inhaler well before use. Use a spacer device if recommended, especially for children. Always rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after inhalation to prevent oral thrush.
