Kelhale for Asthma & Breathing Problems

Asthma is a common lung condition that can cause a range of breathing difficulties that happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.

Kelhale is a preventer inhaler that is used to manage symptoms of mild, moderate and severe forms of asthma. It is advised to take this treatment every day whether or not you are experiencing symptoms. Kelhale is not a reliever/rescue inhaler and should not be used when experiencing a sudden asthma attack of wheezing and breathlessness.

What is Kelhale and how does it work?

Kelhale contains the ingredient beclometasone dipropionate which belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids. These work by reducing inflammation, swelling and irritation in the air passages to improve breathing and lessen asthma symptoms.
