How should I use ASMANEX TWISTHALER?
Read the step-by-step instructions for using ASMANEX TWISTHALER in the Instructions for Use.
- Use ASMANEX TWISTHALER exactly as prescribed. Do not use ASMANEX TWISTHALER more often than prescribed.
- You must use ASMANEX TWISTHALER regularly. It may take 1 week to 2 weeks or longer after you start using ASMANEX TWISTHALER for your asthma symptoms to get better. Do not stop using ASMANEX TWISTHALER even if you are feeling better, unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
- Do not change or stop using ASMANEX TWISTHALER or other asthma medicines used to control or threat your breathing problems unless told to do so by your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will change your medicines as needed.
- ASMANEX TWISTHALER comes in 2 strengths. Your healthcare provider has prescribed the strength that is best for you. Pay attention to the differences between ASMANEX TWISTHALER and your other inhaled medicines, including their prescribed use and the way they look.
- ASMANEX TWISTHALER gives the medicine in a fine powder that you or your child may not taste, smell, or feel.
- If you take more ASMANEX TWISTHALER than your healthcare provider has prescribed, call your healthcare provider right away.
- ASMANEX TWISTHALER does not relieve sudden asthma symptoms. Always have a rescue inhaler such as albuterol with you to treat sudden symptoms. Use your rescue inhaler if you have breathing problems between doses of ASMANEX TWISTHALER. If you do not have a rescue inhaler such as albuterol, call your healthcare provider to have a rescue inhaler prescribed for you.
- Rinse your mouth with water after each dose of ASMANEX TWISTHALER. Spit out the water. Do not swallow it. This will help lessen the chance of getting a yeast infection (thrush) in your mouth and throat.
- Call your healthcare provider or get medical care right away if you have asthma and your symptoms do not improve after using ASMANEX TWISTHALER regularly for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Do not use the ASMANEX TWISTHALER if the inhaler or any of its parts are not working properly. Take it to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
