Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

A: Maxiflo is not indicated for use in children below 5 years of age. It should not be used as initial treatment in asthma or even after a patient is wheezing or facing trouble breathing during an asthma attack. This medicine only prevents breathing problems, does not stop them.

A: The effect of the formoterol component can last as long as 12 hours, however, the doctor will prescribe a frequency of dosage that must be adhered to strictly.

Q: Why is this medicine given as an inhaler?

A: By means of an inhalation, the active medicine components are able to reach into the lungs quickly and produce rapid action. Time is critical in conditions like asthma, hence, it is very common for such medications to be given as inhalers.

Q: How do I use the inhaler to take Maxiflo medications?

A: You can ask your doctor how to correctly use the inhaler so that the medicine is properly administered. You can also refer to the package leaflet for detailed instructions on the same. You should practice holding it before a mirror and then starting using the medicine.
