Description:

This medicine must be used regularly, even when you do not have symptoms, as it helps prevent breathing problems and reduces the risk of asthma flare-ups.

Correct inhaler technique is important to ensure the medicine reaches the lungs and works effectively.

These effects are usually mild, and rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth after each use can help reduce throat irritation and the risk of infection. Contact your doctor if symptoms persist, worsen, or if your asthma becomes harder to control. Avoid stopping this medicine suddenly unless advised by your doctor.
