What are the Side Effects of Clenil?

Clenil modulite, also known generically as beclomethasone, is used to treat asthma. As with most medications, Clenil can cause some users to experience mild to severe side effects.

Identification

Clenil is a prescription drug used to prevent asthma attacks. However, once a severe asthma attack occurs, Clenil will not be able to successfully treat the attack. This medication is classified as a corticosteriod. It is widely available both as an inhalant and as an aerosol solution. It works by reducing inflammation and swelling of the patient's airway passages.
