Directions for Use

Use this metered-dose inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and spit after each use to prevent fungal infection in the mouth. Do not wash the inhaler with water; clean the mouthpiece with a dry tissue once a week. Do not use for sudden asthma attacks; always keep a quick-relief inhaler nearby.

Storage and disposal

Store at room temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold. Do not puncture the canister. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

Quick Tips

  • Use this inhaler regularly even when you feel well to prevent asthma attacks.
  • Always rinse your mouth with water after using the inhaler to prevent thrush.
  • Keep track of the dose counter on your inhaler to ensure you do not run out.
  • Keep a quick-relief rescue inhaler with you at all times for sudden asthma attacks.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if your asthma symptoms worsen or if your rescue inhaler does not relieve symptoms.

Dosage

Overdose

If you accidentally inhale more than prescribed, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

This inhaler combines two medicines that work in different ways. One of them, formoterol, is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles of the airways, making breathing easier. The other, budesonide, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways. Together they prevent airway narrowing and reduce symptoms over time.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way this medicine works. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Beta-blockers used for heart or blood pressure may reduce the effectiveness of this inhaler.

Interactions with food items

No significant interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No, this inhaler is only for maintenance (prevention). You need a separate quick-relief inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Always keep one with you.
Rinsing prevents oral thrush, a fungal infection that can occur when steroid medicine remains in the mouth. Always rinse and spit out the water.
Contact your doctor immediately if your symptoms worsen or if your rescue inhaler does not relieve symptoms. Do not increase your dose without consulting your doctor.
