Kelhale

"Kelhale is a pressurised inhalation solution commonly prescribed to adults who require regular treatment to manage persistent asthma symptoms. It serves as a maintenance therapy rather than a rescue medication, helping patients maintain better control over their respiratory health by preventing inflammatory triggers." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Kelhale is an extra-fine aerosol "preventer" inhaler used to treat chronic asthma by reducing inflammation in the small airways of the lungs. It belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, which are vital for preventing asthma attacks and reducing the overall hypersensitivity of the respiratory system to environmental triggers.

The active ingredient in Kelhale is beclometasone dipropionate, a potent anti-inflammatory steroid that works locally within the lung tissue. This specific formulation is an extra-fine solution, meaning the particles are smaller than standard beclometasone inhalers, often allowing for lower doses to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

Many users report that Kelhale is easy to use due to its standard pressurised metered-dose inhaler design and find it effective at reducing their reliance on "reliever" inhalers. Some patients note a preference for the extra-fine mist, though as with all steroid inhalers, consistency in daily use is the most cited factor for successful asthma control.

The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) is included in every box of Kelhale and provides essential details regarding ingredients, usage and safety warnings. You should read this leaflet thoroughly before starting your treatment to understand the specific clinical guidance provided by the manufacturer for this beclometasone formulation.

Kelhale works by being inhaled into the lungs where the beclometasone dipropionate reduces the swelling and irritation caused by asthma. Unlike a rescue inhaler which opens the airways during an attack, Kelhale builds up protection over time to ensure the airways stay less reactive to triggers like dust, pollen or exercise.

To use Kelhale, you must remove the mouthpiece cover, breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth and press the canister down while taking a slow deep breath in. It is important to hold your breath for about ten seconds after inhalation and always rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after use to prevent oral thrush.

The standard dosage for Kelhale is usually one or two puffs taken twice daily, although your specific dose will be determined by a healthcare professional based on the severity of your asthma. You must use this medication every day as prescribed, even if you do not have active asthma symptoms, to maintain its preventative benefits.

Common side effects of Kelhale include a hoarse voice, a sore throat or oral candidiasis (thrush) in the mouth or throat. Using a spacer device or rinsing your mouth after each dose can significantly reduce the risk of these local effects. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Kelhale is not a treatment for acute asthma attacks and will not provide immediate relief if you are struggling to breathe. You must always have a separate "reliever" inhaler available. You should inform your prescriber if you have a history of tuberculosis, viral infections of the eye or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting this steroid treatment.

Is Kelhale the same as Clenil?

While both contain beclometasone, Kelhale is an extra-fine formulation and is not interchangeable with standard beclometasone inhalers on a puff-for-puff basis without medical supervision.

Can I use a spacer with Kelhale?

Yes, using a spacer can help improve the delivery of the medicine to your lungs and reduce the amount of medicine that stays in your mouth, lowering the risk of side effects.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled puff. Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten one.
