Qvar Inhaler - Asthma Treatment

What is Qvar Inhaler used for?

The Qvar inhaler is a popular medical device primarily used for managing chronic asthma. The key to managing this chronic condition is through the prevention of attacks before they occur, emphasised by Dr Jennifer Ashton, a recognised physician and medical correspondent, which is where the role of the Qvar inhaler becomes crucial. The Qvar inhaler contains an active ingredient known as beclomethasone dipropionate which helps significantly reduce inflammation and swelling in the airways. The effect leads to an improvement in lung function and subsequently reduces the severity and frequency of asthma attacks. In essence, the Qvar inhaler is a critical tool for proactive asthma management.

How does Qvar work?

The Qvar inhaler operates through the actions of its active ingredient, beclomethasone dipropionate. The compound is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid, commonly referred to as a steroid. Corticosteroids work by decreasing inflammation in the lungs, preventing the swelling and tightening of airways that trigger asthma symptoms, as explained by Dr Sunita Kumar, Co-Director of the Center for Sleep Disorders at Loyola University Medical Center. When inhaled, beclomethasone goes directly to the lungs' airways, reducing the risk of side effects compared to oral steroids. The localized treatment reduces inflammation, allowing for easier breathing and fewer asthma symptoms. Qvar, in its essence, is a facilitator of easy breathing for those living with asthma.

Is Qvar a steroid inhaler?

Yes, Qvar is indeed classified as a steroid inhaler. The active ingredient in Qvar, beclomethasone dipropionate, is a type of corticosteroid. Steroid inhalers, known as corticosteroid inhalers, are anti-inflammatory drugs that help to soothe and prevent the inflammation of airways, a common issue in asthma patients, as explained by Dr Ivan Brooks, a renowned pulmonologist. Therefore, the Qvar inhaler, with its corticosteroid content, falls under the category of steroid inhaler. Its use helps manage and prevent inflammation and swelling in the airways, crucial in reducing the occurrence of asthma attacks.

Why is Qvar being discontinued?

There has been no official announcement about the discontinuation of Qvar inhalers. However, any decision to discontinue a medical product like Qvar typically stems from several factors. These range from manufacturing issues, and new scientific research indicating potential health risks, to economic reasons such as low demand or the introduction of more effective alternatives. 

Is Qvar a preventer inhaler?

Yes, Qvar is indeed considered a preventer inhaler. The primary role of a preventer inhaler is to control the swelling and inflammation in the lungs' airways over a long period, as explained by Dr John Dickinson, Head of the Respiratory Clinic at the University of Kent. In line with this definition, the Qvar inhaler, which contains the corticosteroid beclomethasone dipropionate, is designed to prevent the inflammation and narrowing of airways that lead to asthma attacks. By using Qvar regularly, asthma patients effectively manage their symptoms and significantly reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. It's worth noting that preventer inhalers like Qvar do not provide immediate relief from an ongoing asthma attack; they are for long-term control and prevention of asthma symptoms. As always, patients must consult with their healthcare providers to ensure they are using their inhalers correctly and to discuss any concerns or side effects they are experiencing.

Qvar Inhaler - Dosages & Usages

What dosages are available with Qvar?

Qvar RediHaler inhalation aerosol is typically available in two dosages: 40 micrograms (mcg) and 80 mcg per puff. These dosages refer to the amount of the active ingredient, beclomethasone dipropionate, delivered in each puff from the inhaler. The prescribed dosage is dependent on the severity of the patient's asthma and their response to treatment. It's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not alter it without consulting a healthcare provider.

How many puffs of Qvar do I do?

In general, the usual recommended starting dose for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older is two puffs of either 40 mcg or 80 mcg, twice daily. For children aged 5 to 11 years, the typical starting dose is one or two puffs of 40 mcg, twice daily. However, it's essential to follow the specific instructions provided by a healthcare provider. The number of puffs required from a Qvar inhaler varies depending on the patient's condition and their healthcare provider's advice.

How do I use Qvar inhaler with a spacer?

To use a Qvar inhaler with a spacer, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the cap from the inhaler and spacer.
  2. Shake the inhaler well.
  3. Insert the mouthpiece of the inhaler into the end of the spacer.
  4. Exhale completely, then place the mouth around the mouthpiece of the spacer.
  5. Press down on the inhaler to release a puff of medication into the spacer.
  6. Take a slow, deep breath in and hold the breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
  7. Wait at least 30 seconds before repeating the process if another puff is required.

Remember that spacers must be cleaned regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

How long does it take for Qvar inhaler to work?

Qvar is a preventer inhaler and doesn't provide immediate relief of asthma symptoms, its effects are generally noticed over a period of 24 to 48 hours, but it might take up to one or two weeks or longer of regular usage to experience the full benefits. As a long-term management medication, Qvar works best when used consistently as prescribed.

Can I use Albuterol and Qvar at the same time?

Yes, one is able to use Albuterol (a reliever inhaler) and Qvar (a preventer inhaler) at the same time, but they must be used in a specific order. Typically, Albuterol is used first to open up the airways, followed by Qvar to reduce inflammation. Always follow the specific advice of a healthcare provider regarding the use and sequencing of these inhalers.

How do I use Qvar and its dosage?

Qvar inhaler must be used exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider, the dosage depends on the severity of a person's asthma. After removing the cap and shaking the inhaler, exhale fully. Place the mouthpiece in the mouth, sealing one's lips around it. As one begins to inhale slowly and deeply, press down on the top of the inhaler to release the medication. Hold the breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. If another dose is required, wait at least 30 seconds before repeating the process. After use, rinse the mouth with water to prevent a fungal infection called thrush, a potential side effect of inhaled corticosteroids.

How often can I use my Qvar inhaler?

Qvar is typically used twice daily, morning and evening, but the frequency varies depending on the severity of asthma and the specific instructions from a healthcare provider. It's important to use Qvar regularly, even if one is feeling well, as it is a preventive medicine designed to control asthma symptoms over the long term. It's not intended for immediate relief from an asthma attack.

How many puffs of Qvar is safe?

The safe number of Qvar puffs depends on individual prescriptions, but generally, for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older, the usual starting dose is two puffs of either 40 mcg or 80 mcg twice daily. For children aged 5 to 11 years, the typical starting dose is one or two puffs of 40 mcg twice daily. It's crucial to note that the maximum daily dose must not exceed 320 mcg for adults and adolescents, and 80 mcg for children. However, a healthcare provider determines the appropriate number of puffs based on the severity of an individual's asthma.

Qvar Inhaler Side Effects & Considerations

Qvar 100 inhaler side effects

While Qvar inhalers, including the 100 mcg dosage, are generally well-tolerated, they might cause some side effects, including headaches, throat irritation, hoarseness, cough, dry mouth, and changes in taste. Less commonly, Qvar might lead to more serious side effects such as fungal infections in the mouth (oral thrush), slowed growth in children, decreased bone mineral density, and vision problems, particularly with long-term use. Any unusual or severe symptoms must be reported to a healthcare provider promptly.

Can Qvar cause weight gain?

No, Qvar is not meant to cause weight gain. Although, while systemic corticosteroids, those taken orally or through injection, are known to cause weight gain, the likelihood of weight gain from inhaled corticosteroids like Qvar is much less. Be aware that everyone reacts differently to medications, and a small number of individuals might experience weight gain due to increased appetite or water retention. If one notices unexplained weight gain while using Qvar, it's important to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

Can Qvar cause anxiety?

No, anxiety is not commonly listed as a side effect of Qvar. However, everyone's response to medication is unique, and individuals might experience unusual side effects. If feeling anxious after starting Qvar, it's essential to inform a healthcare provider. They are able to help determine whether the symptom is related to Qvar or if it might be due to other factors such as the underlying stress of living with a chronic disease like asthma.

Can Qvar cause heart palpitations?

No, heart palpitations are not a typical side effect of Qvar. However, all medications have the ability to potentially cause unexpected reactions in some individuals. If one experiences new or increased heart palpitations, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly. A healthcare provider is able to help evaluate the symptom and consider whether it might be related to Qvar or other factors.

Can Qvar cause high blood pressure?

No, high blood pressure is not a commonly reported side effect of Qvar. The corticosteroid in Qvar is usually inhaled directly into the lungs, which minimises systemic side effects. However, individual reactions to medications vary, and if an individual is concerned about high blood pressure or notices a significant increase in their blood pressure readings, it's important to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

Qvar Inhaler Availability & Pricing

How much does Qvar cost?

The cost of Qvar ranges from £15 to £40 per inhaler, however, it varies depending on factors like location, insurance coverage, and the specific dosage prescribed. It's advisable to check with local pharmacies for the most accurate pricing information.

How to Buy Qvar online in the UK?

To buy Qvar online in the UK, one must use trusted online pharmacies such as Pharmacy2U, Lloydspharmacy, Welzo, or Boots.

Follow their online ordering process, which usually involves submitting a prescription and completing a secure online payment.

How can I buy Qvar inhalers online safely?

To buy Qvar inhalers online safely, use a reputable and certified online pharmacy. These pharmacies must require a valid prescription from a healthcare provider. Be cautious of online pharmacies that offer to sell prescription medications without a prescription or at suspiciously low prices; these are potentially fraudulent or selling counterfeit medications.

Is there a generic version of Qvar?

Yes, there is a generic version of Qvar available, named beclomethasone. Generic medications contain the same active ingredient as the brand-name medication and are approved by regulatory authorities to be equivalent in terms of safety, quality and effectiveness. 

How do I get an inhaler without seeing a doctor UK?

In the UK, inhalers like Qvar are prescription medications, meaning a prescription from a healthcare provider is needed to obtain them. However, some online services like Pharmacy2U and Welzo offer online consultations with a healthcare provider who can prescribe medication if appropriate. Remember, it's essential to use these medications under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure they are safe and effective for each individual.

No, Amazon does not sell prescription medications like Qvar inhalers. It's always best to buy prescription medications from a trusted and licensed pharmacy.

Can I get Qvar on the NHS?

Yes, Qvar is generally available on the NHS in the UK for patients who have been diagnosed with asthma and have a prescription from a healthcare provider. The cost for patients is typically the standard NHS prescription charge, although some individuals might be eligible for free prescriptions based on specific criteria.

Once one has a prescription, they are able to purchase the inhaler from a trusted pharmacy, either in-person or online. Make sure to shop around for the best price and remember to use the medication as directed by a healthcare provider.

Qvar Inhaler Alternatives

Are Qvar and Flovent the same?

No, while Qvar and Flovent are both inhaled corticosteroids used to prevent and control symptoms caused by asthma, they are not the same. Qvar contains the active ingredient beclomethasone dipropionate, while Flovent contains fluticasone propionate. They are different drugs, and their effects vary. A healthcare provider is able to prescribe the one most suited to an individual's condition based on factors like severity of symptoms, response to treatment, and potential side effects.

What asthma inhalers are similar to QVAR?

Several other inhaled corticosteroids are used in a similar way to Qvar for asthma control, including Flovent (fluticasone propionate), Pulmicort (budesonide), and Asmanex (mometasone). All of these medications work by reducing inflammation in the lungs, helping to prevent asthma symptoms. However, the specific drug and dosage must be chosen by a healthcare provider based on the individual patient's needs.

What is the difference between QVAR and Fostair?

Qvar and Fostair are both used to manage asthma, but they are different types of inhalers, Qvar is an inhaled corticosteroid and contains beclomethasone, which helps reduce inflammation in the lungs. On the other hand, Fostair is a combination inhaler containing beclomethasone and formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator which relaxes the muscles in the airways. The dual action makes Fostair suitable for individuals with more severe asthma or those who aren't adequately controlled with a single type of inhaler.

How do the Qvar Autohaler, Aerosol and Easi-breathe inhalers differ?

These three types of Qvar inhalers differ mainly in their delivery mechanisms. The Qvar Autohaler is a breath-actuated inhaler, meaning it automatically releases a puff of medication when a person inhales. The Qvar Aerosol requires the user to manually release the medication as they inhale. The Qvar Easi-Breathe inhaler is breath-actuated and has been designed to be particularly easy to use, with a mouthpiece cover that automatically opens when the user is ready to use it.

Are Clenil and QVAR the same?

No, although Clenil and Qvar are similar they differ in the delivery of the medicine and the dosage strength. They both contain the active ingredient beclomethasone dipropionate, an inhaled corticosteroid used to prevent asthma symptoms. However, the inhalers deliver the medication in different ways and potentially have different strengths, so they are not considered the same. As always, it's important to use the specific inhaler prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Does Qvar have steroids?

Yes, Qvar does contain a steroid. The active ingredient in Qvar is beclomethasone dipropionate, which is a type of medication known as an inhaled corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways of the lungs.

Is Qvar a bronchodilator?

No, Qvar is not a bronchodilator. It is an inhaled corticosteroid, which means it works by reducing inflammation in the lungs to prevent asthma symptoms. Bronchodilators, on the other hand, work by relaxing the muscles around the airways to open them up.

Is Qvar a rescue inhaler?

No, Qvar is not a rescue inhaler. It is a preventive inhaler used regularly to control and prevent asthma symptoms. It does not work quickly enough to relieve sudden asthma symptoms or an asthma attack. For that purpose, a fast-acting rescue inhaler, like albuterol, is used. It's crucial to always have a rescue inhaler available for immediate relief of symptoms.

How long does Qvar last?

Each Qvar inhaler contains a set number of doses, typically around 120 puffs. If using it twice a day, as is often prescribed, one inhaler lasts about 60 days. However, the duration of a Qvar inhaler varies depending on the specific dosage and frequency prescribed by a healthcare provider. Always follow a healthcare provider's instructions on how often to use Qvar and when to replace the inhaler.

Will Qvar treat an asthma attack?

No, Qvar is not meant to treat an asthma attack. It is a preventive inhaler used to control asthma symptoms over time, not to provide immediate relief during an asthma attack. For sudden worsening of asthma symptoms or an actual asthma attack, a fast-acting rescue inhaler like albuterol is needed. If one has asthma, a healthcare provider might recommend having a rescue inhaler available. Consult with a provider for further advice.

What does Qvar taste like?

Some people report a slightly bitter or metallic taste after using Qvar, while others do not notice a taste at all. The taste varies from person to person. If a user finds the taste unpleasant, rinsing one's mouth with water after using Qvar helps. Regardless of the taste, it's important to continue using the medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider to effectively manage asthma symptoms.

An autohaler is a type of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) device that is activated by breathing and does not require hand-to-breathe coordination to correctly receive the dose, unlike regular aerosol inhalers. Autohalers are useful for those who may have trouble with the timing of an aerosol inhaler.

How long does it take for Qvar to kick in/begin working?

An inhaler that contains beclometasone won't begin to work straight away. These inhalers will normally improve breathing and reduce wheeziness between 3-7 days of daily use.

Does Qvar cause weight gain?

No, weight gain is not a listed side effect of using a Qvar aerosol inhaler or autohaler.
