About Derisone L Forte Respicap

Derisone L Forte Respicap is respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat or prevent asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing.

Derisone L Forte Respicap is a combination of two drugs, namely: Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator) and Beclometasone (corticosteroid). Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.
