Buy Clenil Modulite 100mcg Inhaler Online – Beclometasone Preventer Inhaler for Asthma
Buy Clenil Modulite 100mcg online from HubPharm Africa, a PCN licensed specialty pharmacy. Clenil Modulite is a CFC-free pressurised metered dose inhaler containing beclometasone dipropionate, an inhaled corticosteroid used as regular preventer therapy in asthma. The 100mcg strength is the standard workhorse dose, used for mild to moderate asthma in adults and adolescents and for older children who need more than the lowest dose.
Clenil is a preventer, not a reliever. It works by damping down the inflammation and swelling inside the airways that make them twitchy and narrow. That effect builds over days and weeks of daily use, which is why the inhaler must be taken every day even when breathing feels completely normal. It will not help during an asthma attack, so a short-acting reliever inhaler must always be available.
Every HubPharm order is reviewed by a pharmacist before dispatch. We check your inhaler technique, advise on spacer use and mouth rinsing, and make sure your preventer and reliever supply never run out at the same time. Same-day delivery within Lagos, 48 hours nationwide, and international shipping available.
Key Features
- Daily Asthma Control: Regular beclometasone reduces airway inflammation, cuts symptom days and night waking, and lowers the risk of severe attacks and hospital admission.
- 100mcg per Actuation: The most widely prescribed strength, suitable for low to moderate daily doses and for stepping up or down without changing device.
- CFC-Free Modulite Formulation: Clenil Modulite is a non-extrafine solution aerosol designed so that each strength is dose-for-dose equivalent to the older CFC beclometasone inhalers.
- Spacer Compatible: Works with an AeroChamber or similar valved holding chamber, which improves lung delivery and reduces throat side effects, and is essential for young children.
- Pharmacist-Guided Dispensing: A HubPharm pharmacist confirms the strength on your prescription, corrects technique, and reviews your overall asthma control before dispatch.
FAQ
What is Clenil Modulite 100mcg used for?
It is used as regular preventer treatment for asthma. Beclometasone dipropionate reduces inflammation in the airways so that wheezing, chest tightness, cough and breathlessness occur less often and asthma attacks become less likely.
Is Clenil a reliever or a preventer?
A preventer. It does not open the airways quickly and must never be used to treat a sudden attack. Keep a short-acting reliever such as salbutamol with you at all times and seek urgent care if it is not working.
How many puffs of Clenil Modulite 100mcg should I take?
In adults and adolescents the usual dose is one or two puffs twice daily. In children the dose is lower and set by weight, age and severity. Always follow the dose written on your prescription, and never change it yourself. Once asthma is stable, your prescriber may step the dose down to the lowest that keeps control.
How do I use the inhaler correctly?
Shake well, remove the cap, breathe out fully, seal your lips around the mouthpiece, start a slow deep breath in and press the canister once at the same moment, keep inhaling, then hold your breath for about ten seconds. Wait about 30 seconds before a second puff. Using a spacer makes the timing far easier.
Do I need to rinse my mouth after using Clenil?
Yes. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out, or brush your teeth, after every dose. This washes steroid off the mouth and throat and greatly reduces the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness.
How long before Clenil starts working?
You may notice improvement within a few days, but the full preventive effect usually takes two to four weeks of consistent daily use. Do not stop early because nothing seems to be happening.
Can I stop Clenil when I feel well?
No. Feeling well usually means the inhaler is working. Stopping it allows airway inflammation to return, often followed by an attack. Any reduction should be planned with your prescriber.
Is Clenil Modulite the same as Qvar?
No. Both contain beclometasone, but Qvar is an extrafine formulation with much smaller particles and is roughly twice as potent microgram for microgram. Clenil Modulite is non-extrafine. The two are not interchangeable and brand substitution should never be done without medical advice.
What are the side effects of Clenil Modulite?
The common effects are local: oral thrush, hoarseness, sore throat and cough. Rinsing after use and using a spacer largely prevent them. At high doses over long periods, systemic effects such as adrenal suppression, reduced bone density, glaucoma, cataract and, in children, slowed growth are possible, which is why the lowest effective dose is used.
Will Clenil affect my child’s growth?
Growth should be monitored in any child on long-term inhaled steroids, and the dose kept as low as control allows. In practice the risk from poorly controlled asthma is greater than the risk from an appropriate preventer dose. Discuss any concern with your paediatrician rather than stopping the inhaler.
Can I use Clenil during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Inhaled corticosteroids are generally continued in pregnancy because uncontrolled asthma is more dangerous to mother and baby than the medicine. Speak to your doctor or a HubPharm pharmacist so your regimen can be reviewed rather than stopped.
How do I know when the inhaler is empty?
Count your doses. Each canister is labelled with the number of actuations it contains. Do not rely on shaking or floating the canister in water. Order a replacement before the last week of supply.
How do I clean the inhaler?
At least once a week, remove the canister, rinse the plastic actuator in warm water, shake off the excess and let it air dry fully. Never put the metal canister in water.
Can I buy Clenil Modulite online in Nigeria?
Yes. HubPharm Africa is a PCN licensed pharmacy (LAG20247B39C9) and dispenses Clenil Modulite with pharmacist review. We deliver same-day within Lagos, within 48 hours nationwide, and ship internationally.
How should Clenil Modulite be stored?
Store below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not freeze, puncture or burn the canister, even when it feels empty. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date on the pack.
Description
Clenil Modulite 100mcg Inhaler – Full Product Information
Active ingredient: Beclometasone dipropionate 100mcg per metered actuation, an inhaled corticosteroid.
Presentation: CFC-free pressurised metered dose inhaler (HFA-134a solution aerosol), 200 actuations per canister.
Indication: Regular preventer therapy in the management of asthma. The 100mcg strength is the standard workhorse dose, used for mild to moderate asthma in adults and adolescents and for older children who need more than the lowest dose.
Legal category: Prescription only medicine.
How Clenil Modulite Works
Beclometasone dipropionate is a pro-drug converted in the airway to its active metabolite, beclometasone-17-monopropionate. It binds glucocorticoid receptors in airway cells and suppresses the transcription of inflammatory mediators, reducing eosinophilic infiltration, mucosal oedema and mucus production, and restoring beta-receptor responsiveness. The result is less airway hyperresponsiveness, fewer symptoms and fewer exacerbations. Because the effect is on inflammation rather than smooth muscle tone, onset is gradual and benefit depends entirely on regular use.
Dosage
Adults and adolescents over 12 years: usually 100mcg to 400mcg twice daily. Children over 5 years: usually 100mcg twice daily, adjusted to response, with a spacer where technique requires it. The dose should be titrated to the lowest that maintains control. Clenil Modulite is a non-extrafine formulation and is not interchangeable microgram for microgram with extrafine beclometasone products such as Qvar. Patients switching brands require prescriber review and dose adjustment.
Storage and Handling
Store below 25°C, protected from direct sunlight, frost and heat. Do not freeze. The canister is pressurised: do not pierce, crush or incinerate it even when empty. Prime the inhaler with two actuations into the air before first use and after five or more days without use. Clean the plastic actuator weekly in warm water and dry completely before reassembly. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Safety Information
Not for the relief of acute asthma attacks. Do not use in patients hypersensitive to beclometasone dipropionate or any excipient. Increasing reliever use, night waking or falling peak flow indicates deteriorating control and needs urgent medical review rather than self-increased preventer dosing. Oropharyngeal candidiasis and dysphonia are reduced by rinsing the mouth and using a spacer. Prolonged high-dose therapy carries a risk of systemic corticosteroid effects including adrenal suppression, reduced bone mineral density, cataract, glaucoma and growth retardation in children, so growth in children on long-term therapy should be monitored. Patients transferring from oral corticosteroids need supervised withdrawal and may require a steroid warning card. Paradoxical bronchospasm requires immediate discontinuation and reassessment.
