Beclomethasone inhalers are approved for asthma treatment in children five years of age and older. Young children usually require help using the beclomethasone inhaler correctly. Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about the best ways to treat childhood asthma. Inhaled steroids, such as the beclomethasone inhaler, may slightly slow the growth of children or teenagers.
Are Beclomethasone Inhalers Used for Off-Label Purposes?
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend the beclomethasone inhaler for something other than preventing asthma attacks. At this time, using the drug to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an off-label use of beclomethasone inhalers.
