When should I use Clenil Modulite?

A doctor will usually instruct adults and children to use Clenil Modulite twice a day, normally once in the morning and once in the evening.

Clenil Modulite is a “preventer inhaler”, which means it is taken to prevent the symptoms of asthma from flaring up. For this reason, you need to use your inhaler each day to avoid having an asthma attack. This is especially important if you plan to do any strenuous activity, such as exercise, of if there is a risk that you may come into contact with an asthma trigger.

Is Clenil Modulite a steroid?

Clenil Modulite contains a medicine called beclometasone dipropionate as its active ingredient, which is a steroid. It works to settle the immune system, which reduces swelling in the lungs and makes it easier for you to breathe.

Furthermore, beclometasone dipropionate will help to stop you being affected by common asthma symptoms like coughing and wheezing.

It will also help to protect you when you from naturally occurring seasonal asthma triggers such as pollen, hot and cold air.

How long does Clenil Modulite take to work?

It will likely take a few days for you to notice a significant improvement in your asthma symptoms while using Clenil Modulite. This is because it can take a few days of regular use for the steroid to work properly.

To get the most out of your inhaler, it is imperative that you remember to use it regularly, in line with your doctor’s dosage instructions. Tell your doctor if you have been using Clenil Modulite for one week and not noticed any improvement in your asthma.

Should I use my inhaler during an asthma attack?

No, you should not use a Clenil Modulite inhaler during an asthma attack as it will not provide relief quickly enough and will not work to stop an asthma attack.

Instead, you will need to use your “reliever inhaler”, which you should only take when you are affected by an asthma trigger or if an attack occurs. You should not use your reliever inhaler to prevent an asthma attack and, similarly, you should not use your preventer inhaler during an asthma attack.

If you have asthma, your doctor will prescribe you a suitable reliever inhaler, which you should always have within easy reach as you never know when you might need it.

Can I use Clenil Modulite and salbutamol inhalers together?

Salbutamol inhalers are reliever inhalers that will be prescribed by your doctor. Salbutamol inhalers should be used to relive asthma symptoms during a flare-up or an asthma attack. When using a beclometasone dipropionate inhaler like Clenil Modulite, this should only be to prevent the symptoms of asthma from flaring up.

Using these medicines in conjunction with each other should not cause any problems. However, you should not take them both at the same time. A reliever inhaler should only be used to ease the symptoms of an asthma attack or breathing problems when they occur. It will not prevent you from experiencing asthma symptoms. On the other hand, you should use Clenil Modulite each day as a preventative measure, not to relieve asthma symptoms when they flare up.
