⚡ Quick Answer — What is Beclate Rotacaps?
Beclate Rotacaps obsahuje beclomethasone dipropionate, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation in asthma and (selectively) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Beclate Rotacaps is a dry-powder rotacaps od Cipla, delivering 100, 200, or 400 mcg per rotacap per dose. Unlike a reliever inhaler (Asthalin, Levolin, Bonair), Beclate Rotacaps is a preventer (controller) — used twice daily, every day, even when you feel well. Maximum benefit takes 1–2 weeks. Rinse mouth and gargle with water after every dose to prevent oral thrush and hoarseness.

What Is Beclate Rotacaps?
Beclate Rotacaps is an Indian-manufactured generic dry-powder rotacaps of beclomethasone dipropionate, the same active drug used in international brand Becotide Rotacaps. Each dose delivers 100, 200, or 400 mcg per rotacap. Cipla manufactures Beclate Rotacaps at WHO-GMP certified facilities to bioequivalence standards.
How Does Beclate Rotacaps Work?
beclomethasone dipropionate is a topical glucocorticoid delivered directly to the bronchial mucosa. It binds intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, translocates to the nucleus, and:
- Suppresses inflammatory gene transcription — reduces IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TNF-α, eosinophil and lymphocyte recruitment
- Stabilises airway epithelium — reduces vascular permeability and mucus hypersecretion
- Restores β2-adrenergic receptor responsiveness — reverses tachyphylaxis to relievers
- Reduces airway hyperreactivity — fewer attacks triggered by exercise, cold air, allergens
Effect builds over 1–2 weeks of consistent twice-daily dosing. beclomethasone dipropionate has high topical potency and undergoes extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism, minimising systemic glucocorticoid effects at standard doses.
Použití a indikace
- Persistent asthma — first-line preventer at all severity levels (GINA Step 1 onward)
- Exercise-induced asthma — daily ICS reduces exercise-triggered bronchospasm
- Cough-variant asthma a eosinophilic bronchitis
- COPD with frequent exacerbations — added to LAMA + LABA when exacerbations recur (selective use; not for COPD without exacerbation history)
- Allergic asthma triggered by pollen, dust, animal dander — daily prevention through allergy season
Beclate Rotacaps Dosage
| Patient | Dávka | Frekvence |
|---|---|---|
| Adults — mild | 200–400 mcg/day | Twice daily |
| Adults — moderate | 400–1000 mcg/day | Twice daily |
| Adults — severe | 1000–2000 mcg/day | Twice daily |
| Children 6–12 yr | 200–400 mcg/day | Twice daily |
How to Use Beclate Rotacaps Properly
- Insert one rotacap into Rotahaler, coloured end down.
- Twist sharply — listen for the click.
- Breathe out away from device.
- Seal lips around mouthpiece.
- Inhale forcefully and deeply; you should hear the rotacap whir.
- Hold breath 10 seconds; breathe out slowly.
- Check rotacap is empty; repeat inhalation if powder remains.
- Rinse mouth, gargle, and spit after every dose.
Side Effects of Beclate Rotacaps
Common (local, dose-related):
- Oral thrush (white candidal plaques in the mouth or throat)
- Hoarse voice / dysphonia
- Sore throat, mild cough on inhalation
- Occasional dry mouth
Méně časté:
- Slight reduction in growth velocity in children at higher doses (catch-up growth occurs; final adult height largely unaffected)
- Easy bruising of skin at high cumulative doses
- Possible adrenal suppression with high doses or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor co-prescription
- Cataracts and glaucoma at very high cumulative inhaled doses (rare)
- Mild weight gain (much less than with oral steroid)
Serious (stop and seek emergency help):
- Severe allergic reaction / angio-oedema
- Paradoxical bronchospasm immediately after inhalation
- Adrenal crisis during illness or surgery (rare, with high-dose long-term use)
- Pneumonia signs in COPD users (fever, productive cough, breathlessness change) — ICS slightly raises pneumonia risk in COPD
Varování a opatření
- {$brand} is a preventer, not a reliever. Do not use during an acute attack — use a SABA (Asthalin, Levolin) instead.
- Take it every day, even when you feel well. Effect builds over 1–2 weeks; it wears off if you skip doses.
- Rinse mouth and brush teeth after every dose to prevent thrush and hoarseness.
- Silné inhibitory CYP3A4 (ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin) raise systemic ICS exposure — seek alternative or monitor for Cushing-like effects.
- Do not stop suddenly after months of high-dose use — taper down to allow HPA-axis recovery.
- Těhotenství a kojení: beclomethasone dipropionate is the most data-supported ICS in pregnancy (especially budesonide). Inhaled at standard doses is far safer than uncontrolled asthma.
- COPD users: ICS slightly raises pneumonia risk — ensure ICS adds value (eosinophilic phenotype, frequent exacerbations).
Kontraindikace
- Known hypersensitivity to beclomethasone dipropionate or any formulation excipient
- Untreated active fungal, bacterial, mycobacterial (TB), or viral respiratory infection — treat infection first
- Use with caution in active or quiescent pulmonary tuberculosis
Interakce s léčivy
| Interacting drug | Účinek | Co dělat |
|---|---|---|
| Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin) | Increase systemic ICS exposure → adrenal suppression / Cushing risk | Avoid prolonged co-use; monitor cortisol if essential |
| Other inhaled or systemic corticosteroids | Additive HPA-axis suppression | Use lowest effective dose; monitor for systemic steroid effects |
| Live vaccines | Reduced immune response if high-dose ICS | Inactivated vaccines preferred during high-dose use |
Skladování
- Store below 25°C in a dry place. Keep desiccant in the bottle.
- Do not store in the bathroom — humidity makes the powder clump and reduces dose delivery.
- Once the strip/blister is opened, use within the period stated on the leaflet (typically 2–3 months).
- Keep out of reach of children.

Často kladené dotazy
How is Beclate Rotacaps different from the inhaler?
Same drug, different device. Inhaler = pressurised, slow-deep inhalation. Rotacaps = dry powder, fast-forceful inhalation (≥30 L/min flow needed) via Rotahaler.
Can children use Beclate Rotacaps?
From age 6 with confirmed inspiratory flow. Below 6, use Beclate Inhaler with spacer + mask.
Why no taste from a beclomethasone rotacap?
Pure beclomethasone is nearly tasteless. Visually confirm the rotacap is empty after inhalation.
How fast does Beclate Rotacaps start working?
Some benefit within days; substantial improvement by 1 week; full effect 1–2 weeks of consistent twice-daily use.
Can I use Beclate Rotacaps during pregnancy?
Beclomethasone has long-standing pregnancy use without major signals. Budesonide is the most data-supported ICS in pregnancy if a switch is feasible.
How should I clean the Rotahaler?
Wipe the mouthpiece with a dry tissue weekly. Do not wash — moisture damages the device.
Is Beclate Rotacaps safe long-term?
Yes, at standard doses. High cumulative doses can mildly raise cataract risk, easy bruising, growth velocity reduction in children — minimised by using lowest effective dose and reviewing every 6–12 months.
What if I cannot generate enough inhalation flow?
Use Beclate Inhaler with a spacer instead. Flow-independent delivery suits the elderly, very young, and anyone in acute attack.
Can I co-administer with my reliever?
Yes — relievers (Asthalin, Levolin) and preventers (Beclate) target different mechanisms and are routinely used together. Take the reliever first if breathless, then the preventer.
