Qvar RediHaler (active ingredient: beclomethasone dipropionate) is a prescription inhaler used for the long-term maintenance treatment of asthma in people 4 years of age and older. It is used as a preventive medication to help control asthma and reduce the chance of asthma symptoms.

Qvar RediHaler is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks.

Asthma Maintenance Treatment

Qvar RediHaler is used as prophylactic therapy, which means it helps prevent asthma symptoms before they happen. It is taken regularly as prescribed, even when you are feeling well.

By controlling airway inflammation over time, Qvar RediHaler can help reduce symptoms such as:

  • Wheezing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest tightness
  • Coughing

How Qvar RediHaler Works

Qvar RediHaler belongs to a class of medications called inhaled corticosteroids. These medications work by reducing inflammation and swelling inside the airways.

When airway inflammation is controlled, the airways are less likely to become narrow, irritated, or overly sensitive. This helps improve breathing and reduces the risk of asthma symptoms and flare-ups.

Important Note

Qvar RediHaler must be used consistently to work well. It does not provide quick relief during an asthma attack. If you have sudden breathing problems, use your rescue inhaler as directed by your healthcare provider.

Qvar RediHaler is inhaled by mouth exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually used twice daily, but your dose may depend on your age, asthma severity, and response to treatment.

Use Qvar RediHaler regularly, even when you feel well. This medication helps prevent asthma symptoms over time and does not work as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems.

Using the Inhaler

Do not use a spacer device with Qvar RediHaler. You also do not need to prime or shake the inhaler before using it.

If your prescribed dose is 2 inhalations, wait at least 1 minute between each puff. If you use more than one inhaler, wait at least 1 minute between each medication. When using a rescue inhaler or bronchodilator along with Qvar RediHaler, use Qvar RediHaler last unless your healthcare provider gives different instructions.

Rinse Your Mouth After Use

After each use, rinse your mouth with water, gargle, and spit the water out. Do not swallow the rinse water.

This step helps reduce the risk of side effects such as:

  • Dry mouth
  • Hoarseness
  • Throat irritation
  • Oral yeast infection, also called thrush

Follow Your Treatment Plan

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. Do not change your dose or stop using Qvar RediHaler without medical advice. Contact your healthcare provider if your asthma symptoms worsen, if your rescue inhaler is not working as well, or if you have questions about your treatment.

Common Side Effects of Qvar Redihaler (Beclometasone Dipropionate):

  • Yeast infection
  • Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (cold-like symptoms)
  • Sinus pain or swelling (nasopharyngitis)
  • Sore throat
  • Rhinitis

Serious Side Effects of Qvar Redihaler (Beclometasone Dipropionate):

  • Mouth or throat infection caused by fungi
  • Asthma symptoms that worsen (increased frequency or intensity of attacks, or attacks that do not go away when you use your rescue inhaler)
  • Insufficiency of the adrenal glands (fatigue, lack of energy, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, weakness)
  • Vision effects (blurred vision, tunnel vision, pain, seeing halos around lights)

Qvar Redihaler (Beclometasone Dipropionate) is available in the following forms and strength:

Qvar Redihaler: Easi-Breathe Inhaler

  • 50 mcg
  • 100 mcg

Before using Qvar RediHaler, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you have infections, tuberculosis, eye problems, diabetes, osteoporosis, liver disease, or a weakened immune system. This helps your provider determine whether Qvar RediHaler is safe for you and whether you need closer monitoring.

Use in Children

It is not known whether Qvar RediHaler is safe and effective in children younger than 4 years of age. This medication is approved for asthma maintenance treatment in patients 4 years and older.

Infection Risk

Qvar RediHaler is an inhaled corticosteroid. Corticosteroids can weaken the immune response in the airways and may make some infections harder to control.

Qvar RediHaler should be used with caution in people who have:

  • Active or inactive tuberculosis infection of the respiratory tract
  • Untreated fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections
  • Ocular herpes simplex, which is a herpes infection involving the eye

Tell your healthcare provider if you develop signs of infection, such as fever, worsening cough, sore throat, unusual tiredness, or breathing symptoms that do not improve.

Drug Interactions

Qvar RediHaler may interact with other medications, including certain antifungal or antibiotic medications. Before starting any new prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, vitamin, or supplement, check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Possible Systemic Corticosteroid Effects

Although Qvar RediHaler is inhaled into the lungs, some corticosteroid effects may still occur, especially with higher doses or long-term use. These may include:

  • Vision changes
  • Glaucoma or cataracts
  • Changes in blood pressure
  • Changes in blood glucose levels
  • Decreased bone mineral density
  • Increased risk of infections

People with a history of glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis, or diabetes may need extra monitoring while using Qvar RediHaler.

Paradoxical Bronchospasm

Qvar RediHaler can rarely cause paradoxical bronchospasm, which means sudden worsening of breathing or wheezing right after using the inhaler. This can be serious.

If this happens, stop using Qvar RediHaler and seek medical attention right away. Use your rescue inhaler as directed by your healthcare provider.

Liver Disease

Use Qvar RediHaler with caution if you have liver disease or reduced liver function. Beclomethasone dipropionate is processed in the body partly through the liver, so your healthcare provider may want to monitor you more closely.

How long does it take for Qvar RediHaler to work?

Qvar RediHaler does not work immediately like a rescue inhaler. Some people may notice improvement in asthma symptoms within 24 hours, but it can take 3 to 4 weeks of regular use to feel the full benefit. Use Qvar RediHaler every day as prescribed, even if you feel well. If your breathing suddenly worsens, use your rescue inhaler as directed by your healthcare provider.

How often can you use Qvar RediHaler?

Qvar RediHaler is usually used twice daily, or exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The number of inhalations depends on your age, asthma severity, and prescribed strength. Do not use more puffs than prescribed. If you feel you need Qvar more often, or your rescue inhaler is not working as well, contact your healthcare provider because your asthma may not be well controlled.

Can I use Qvar RediHaler if I am pregnant?

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Qvar RediHaler. There is limited information about its use during pregnancy, so your provider will weigh the possible benefits and risks. Keeping asthma well controlled during pregnancy is important for both the mother and baby, so do not stop or change your asthma medication without medical guidance.
