VENTOLIN DISKUS is used to relieve and prevent breathing problems caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other lung diseases.
It can also help prevent breathing problems caused by exercise.
Dosage and administration
Dosage should be tailored to each individual, with ongoing monitoring by the prescribing physician.
Increased need for Ventolin Diskus may indicate poorly controlled or worsening asthma, prompting reevaluation of treatment.
If the usual dose of Ventolin Diskus fails to provide relief or lasts for less than three hours, prompt medical advice should be sought.
Only increase dosage or frequency of administration under medical guidance to avoid adverse effects.
In cases of severe asthma attack not relieved by the usual dose, additional doses may be necessary, but immediate medical consultation is advised.
Recommended dosage:
Relief of acute bronchospasm: One inhalation (200 mcg) as needed.
Prevention of bronchospasm: One inhalation (200 mcg) every 4-6 hours, up to three to four times per day.
Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm: One inhalation (200 mcg) 15 minutes before exercise.
Maximum daily dose: Four inhalations (800 mcg).
If further inhalations are needed for a severe attack, consult a doctor or hospital immediately. Regular use may be necessary despite maintenance therapy for bronchial asthma.
Side effects
Ventolin Diskus may cause common side effects like headache, shaking, nervousness, dizziness, dry mouth/throat, and throat irritation.
Less common side effects include feeling your heartbeat (palpitations), rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps, and low potassium.
Get medical help right away for chest pain/tightness, irregular heartbeat, severe allergic reactions (trouble breathing, swelling of face/lips/tongue/throat), high blood pressure, or worsening asthma symptoms after using Ventolin Diskus.
Tell your doctor about any unusual side effects.
Precautions
Tell your doctor about any health problems you have, especially heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, or overactive thyroid before using Ventolin Diskus.
Let your doctor know about all medications you take, including prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and herbal supplements.
Don’t use more Ventolin Diskus than prescribed by your doctor. Using too much can be dangerous.
See your doctor right away if your asthma worsens or you need to use Ventolin Diskus more often.
Ventolin Diskus may cause dizziness or shakiness. Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Avoid getting the powder in your eyes as it may cause irritation.
Keep Ventolin Diskus out of reach of children and store it in a dry place away from moisture and heat.
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about using Ventolin Diskus.
