The preparation is intended for oral inhalation only.

Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids should continue them for a week after having started to use Beclomet Easyhaler™ inhalation powder. Thereafter, the systemic treatment can be reduced gradually under careful monitoring.
Adults: The usual maintenance dose is one to two inhalations (200 – 400 mcg) twice daily. If needed, the dose can be increased up to 1600 mcg/day divided in two to four doses and subsequently reduced when asthma has stabilized.
Children 6 – 12 years: One inhalation (200 mcg) two times daily according to the clinical response. In more severe cases, the dose can be increased up to 800 mcg/day divided in two to four doses and subsequently reduced when asthma has stabilized.
