Aerocort Inhaler 50mcg is a medication primarily used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains a combination of Beclometasone (a corticosteroid) and Formoterol (a long-acting beta-agonist), which work together to help reduce inflammation in the lungs and widen the airways. This inhaler helps relieve breathing difficulties and prevent asthma attacks when used regularly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
