- Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to beclomethasone or any other ingredients, including lactose.
- Always carry your fast-acting asthma reliever medicine with you, as Beclomet Easyhaler does not stop an asthma attack that has already started.
- Talk to your doctor before using this medicine if you have tuberculosis or an untreated infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal) in your mouth, airways, or eyes.
- Contact your doctor if your asthma symptoms get worse, you need to use your reliever medicine more often, or if your reliever medicine doesn't work as well.
- Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without talking to your doctor first, as your asthma may get worse.
