About This Medication

# Teva Cares Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get QVAR RediHaler at Low or No Cost QVAR RediHaler (beclomethasone dipropionate) is an inhaled corticosteroid used to prevent and control asthma symptoms in adults and children. The **Teva Cares Patient Assistance Program** provides this medication at no cost to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income and residency requirements.[1][3] ## About QVAR RediHaler **QVAR RediHaler** is a breath-actuated inhaler containing beclomethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways to help manage asthma. Unlike traditional metered-dose inhalers, it doesn't require hand-breath coordination, making it easier for many patients to use correctly. It's prescribed for daily maintenance to prevent asthma attacks, not for sudden symptoms—always have a rescue inhaler like albuterol on hand for emergencies. Common side effects include hoarseness, throat irritation, and oral yeast infections (rinsing your mouth after use helps prevent this). Your doctor will determine the right dose based on your age and asthma severity.[6] This guide explains how to access QVAR RediHaler through Teva's program, designed for U.S. residents facing financial barriers to essential medications. ## Who Qualifies?
