Can albuterol be taken with beclomethasone?

Conclusions: In patients with mild asthma, the symptom-driven use of inhaled beclomethasone (250 microg) and albuterol (100 microg) in a single inhaler is as effective as regular use of inhaled beclomethasone (250 microg twice daily) and is associated with a lower 6-month cumulative dose of the inhaled corticosteroid.

Qvar (beclomethasone dipropionate) and ProAir (albuterol sulfate) are used to prevent and treat asthma.

Qvar is a steroid and ProAir is a bronchodilator.

How do you use beclomethasone inhaler?
