Soprobec comes in four different colours to make it easier to tell the doses apart. Every inhaler provides 200 puffs.

Like all medications, your Soprobec inhaler might cause side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Keep using your inhaler unless your doctor advises you to stop. You should only stop using your Soprobec inhaler if you think you're having an allergic reaction. This could show up as skin rashes, hives, itching, or swelling of the face, eyes, lips, and throat. If you experience wheezing or difficulty breathing right after using Soprobec, stop using it immediately and use your fast-acting reliever inhaler. Seek urgent medical help. Inform your clinician, who will review your asthma. You might need to switch to a different inhaler. The most frequent side effects of Soprobec include candidiasis (a fungal infection), thrush in the throat, a hoarse voice, and a sore throat. To help prevent these, you can use a Volumatic spacer device or brush your teeth, or rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash after using your inhaler.

Soprobec and Clenil are quite similar inhalers. Clenil is available in the same four doses as Soprobec and uses the same active ingredient, beclomethasone. Clenil is also a preventer inhaler for mild to severe asthma and can be used with the Volumatic Spacer. There are other preventer inhalers with the same active ingredient as Soprobec. One option is Easyhaler Beclometasone, which is available as a 200mcg inhalation powder. It might be simpler to use because you just click and inhale the powdered dose when you're ready. Fostair is a pressurised inhaler that combines beclomethasone, a corticosteroid, and formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. These work together to lessen inflammation in the lungs and relax the muscles in your airways, making it easier for you to breathe. Qvar Easi-Breathe and Qvar Autohaler are available in 50 or 100 mcg doses of beclomethasone. They help prevent asthma symptoms and lower the risk of asthma attacks. The Easi-Breathe is a breath-operated inhaler, making it simple to use—just breathe in to get your dose. The Autohaler works in a similar way but uses a lever to release the dose. You just need to breathe in until you hear a click.

Yes, you'll need a clinician to prescribe Soprobec before you can use it. This is because it contains a corticosteroid and is available in high doses, so the prescriber needs to ensure it's safe and appropriate for you.

Soprobec isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should be aware of before using it. Here's the official information you need. If you have any more concerns, feel free to speak with one of our expert clinicians, who will be more than happy to help answer your questions.

Soprobec is an inhaler containing a corticosteroid, designed as a pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI), to help prevent asthma symptoms. It's used daily to lower the chance of experiencing an asthma attack. It is available in four different strengths to treat mild to severe asthma. Typically, you'll begin with the lowest dose that helps your condition, and your prescriber can increase it to maintain control over your asthma. The active ingredient in Soprobec, beclomethasone, works directly on the airways in the lungs and tends to cause fewer side effects than oral corticosteroids.
