Dosage Guide

Your doctor decides the number of puffs and the timing.

Situation	Typical Approach	Timing	Key Note
Adults, scheduled use	Doses set individually by the prescriber	Usually morning and evening	Ask whether it is scheduled or as needed
Children	Lower doses; specialist direction advised	As prescribed	Growth should be monitored on steroids
Poor inhaler coordination	Use a spacer device	With every dose	A spacer improves delivery markedly
After every dose	Rinse the mouth and spit out	Immediately after inhaling	Reduces thrush and hoarseness
Worsening asthma	Do not simply take more puffs	Seek review promptly	Needing more signals losing control
Acute attack	Use a separate fast-acting reliever	Immediately	This inhaler is not the rescue treatment
Higher steroid doses	Thrush risk rises above 400 mcg daily	As prescribed	Beclometasone total daily dose matters
Surgery, injury or severe illness	Tell the treating team you use a steroid inhaler	Before any procedure	Extra steroid cover may be considered
Transferring from steroid tablets	Requires slow, supervised tapering	As directed	Adrenal recovery can take months
Pregnancy or breastfeeding	Discuss with your doctor first	As prescribed	Asthma control matters in pregnancy
