What Qvar® Is and How It Works

Qvar® is an inhaled corticosteroid (beclomethasone dipropionate HFA) used for maintenance treatment of asthma. It helps control airway inflammation and reduces swelling over time. The aerosol inhaler delivers a measured dose to the lungs. Most patients use it twice daily as a controller, not for quick relief. You can order Qvar Aerosol Inhaler without insurance and still benefit from Canadian pricing at YouDrugstore.

At YouDrugstore, a licensed Canadian pharmacy based in Manitoba, prescriptions are reviewed by licensed pharmacists before dispensing. We offer brand and generic medicines at Canadian prices and also carry OTC health products. Friendly customer-service chat is available during posted office hours, and pharmacists can address medication questions.

We work only with licensed, vetted partner pharmacies abroad to source authentic brand medications, offering a broad selection at affordable prices.

Dosage and Usage

Follow your prescriber’s directions and the product leaflet. Typical dosing is twice daily. Strengths commonly include 40 mcg and 80 mcg per actuation. Titrate based on asthma control. Do not use for sudden wheezing or chest tightness.

  • Prime and prepare the device as described in the patient leaflet before first use or after prolonged non-use.
  • Exhale fully. Place the mouthpiece correctly and seal lips.
  • Begin a slow, deep inhalation while actuating one puff.
  • Hold breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale gently.
  • Wait briefly between puffs if a second puff is prescribed.
  • Rinse mouth and spit after each dose to lower the risk of thrush.
  • Track remaining doses on the counter and replace when empty.
  • If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not double doses.

Storage and travel:

  • Store at room temperature (about 20–25°C). Keep dry and away from heat or flame.
  • Do not puncture or incinerate. Avoid temperatures above 49°C (120°F) or freezing.
  • Keep the cap on to protect the mouthpiece.
  • When traveling, keep the inhaler in carry-on luggage and avoid extreme temperatures.

Benefits and Savings

Qvar® reduces airway inflammation, helps prevent asthma flares, and improves day-to-day control. Many users report less night waking, fewer symptoms, and reduced need for a reliever inhaler. Steady control can mean fewer urgent care visits and improved activity tolerance.

Buying from a licensed Canadian pharmacy can cut costs. You may save 60–80% compared with typical US retail. We list transparent Qvar Aerosol Inhaler cost on each product page. Savings can be significant for those without insurance. You can buy Qvar Aerosol Inhaler or order Qvar Aerosol Inhaler online with a valid prescription.

Side Effects and Safety

Most side effects are mild and improve with correct technique.

  • Common: hoarseness, sore throat, cough, headache, mild throat irritation, oral thrush.
  • To lower thrush risk, rinse and spit after each dose. Consider a spacer if appropriate for the device and prescriber’s advice.
  • Less common but serious: worsening breathing right after inhalation (paradoxical bronchospasm), severe thrush, vision changes, signs of adrenal suppression, allergic reaction (rash, swelling, trouble breathing).
  • Use caution with current infections, untreated tuberculosis, or eye problems like glaucoma or cataracts.
  • Qvar drug interactions: strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (for example, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, cobicistat) can raise steroid exposure. Tell your prescriber about all medicines and herbal products.

Seek urgent care for severe breathing problems, facial swelling, or anaphylaxis symptoms.

Onset Time

Some symptom relief may appear within 24 to 48 hours. Full benefit can take 1 to 2 weeks, and sometimes longer. Continue daily use as prescribed even when feeling well. This medicine is not a rescue inhaler. Keep a reliever inhaler available for sudden symptoms as directed by your clinician.

Compare With Alternatives

Inhaled corticosteroids are the foundation of persistent asthma treatment. Options include fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), and ciclesonide (Alvesco). Efficacy is broadly similar at equivalent anti-inflammatory doses. Device design, taste, and dosing schedules differ.

Many patients also keep a short-acting bronchodilator on hand for quick relief. Products like Salbutamol are used for rapid symptom relief, not for inflammation control. Oral options such as Theo LA® may be considered in select cases but are not first-line due to side-effect profiles.

If comparing Qvar inhaler vs generic beclomethasone, generics may offer similar control when dosed appropriately. Qvar Aerosol Inhaler brand vs generic differences often relate to device features and cost, not the active ingredient.

Combination Therapy

When asthma remains uncontrolled on an inhaled corticosteroid alone, prescribers may add a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) or switch to a fixed-dose ICS/LABA combination. Some patients also need leukotriene receptor antagonists or allergy management. Keep a reliever inhaler on hand for breakthrough symptoms, and follow your asthma action plan.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Qvar® is intended for patients who need ongoing anti-inflammatory therapy for asthma. It is not for acute bronchospasm. Suitability depends on age, asthma severity, and prior treatment. Tell your clinician about eye disease, bone health concerns, immune conditions, or long-term oral steroid use.

Ways to manage costs:

  • Compare strengths and package sizes to match the prescribed daily dose cost-effectively.
  • Consider multi-month supplies to lower the per-month price.
  • Turn on reorder reminders so refills are not missed.
  • Look for periodic site promotions and bulk offers.
