Besvil 100 Octacaps is used mainly to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This combination medicine falls under the category of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA).

In addition to managing asthma and COPD, this medication helps control and prevent respiratory symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It provides a more convenient approach to controlling these conditions with one inhaler as opposed to multiple treatments.

It's important that you take this medicine orally as directed by your doctor. Before starting on this medicine, make sure your doctor knows about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions you might have. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, contact your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Besvil 100 Octacaps is used for:

Managing symptoms of asthma in individuals 12 years and older
Long-term control of airflow obstruction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Reducing the frequency of exacerbations or flare-ups in patients with COPD

Here's how you should use Besvil 100 Octacaps:

This medicine is for oral inhalation only.
It should be administered with an octahaler.
Refer enclosed leaflet before use.
Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

Besvil 100 Octacaps should be inhaled with an ocathaler.

Common side effects of Besvil 100 Octacaps include:

Headache
Nasopharyngitis: This refers to inflammation of the nose and throat, which can cause symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing.
Upper respiratory tract infection
Pneumonia: This is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, resulting in coughs with phlegm or pus.
Bronchitis: An inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs.
Candidiasis of mouth and throat: A fungal infection that can cause white patches in the mouth and throat.
Cough
Oropharyngeal pain: This is pain in the mouth and throat.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Besvil 100 Octacaps. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Headache: Reduce your screen time as much as possible and have adequate sleep.
Nasopharyngitis: If this side effect bothers you, inform your doctor and follow the recommendations.

Besvil 100 Octacaps has two active components:

Fluticasone furoate (100 mcg): As a synthetic corticosteroid, this ingredient works by reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals released in response to asthma triggers like allergens and irritants. This action results in decreased swelling and irritation in the bronchial tubes.
Vilanterol (25 mcg): Classified as a selective long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA), vilanterol binds to beta2 receptors on airway smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation and expansion of the airways. This process makes breathing easier. The effects of vilanterol last for at least 24 hours.

Pregnancy

It's important to be careful when taking Besvil 100 Octacaps if you're pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
