Advair MDI - Canada Product Information
Advair MDI (Metered-Dose Inhaler) is a prescription medication used to help manage asthma. It contains two active ingredients: fluticasone propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid, and salmeterol xinafoate, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist. These ingredients work together to reduce inflammation in the lungs and open the airways, making it easier to breathe.
WHO SHOULD USE ADVAIR MDI?
Asthma patients aged 12 and older who need additional help to control their symptoms when an inhaled corticosteroid alone is not enough. Note: Advair MDI should not be the first asthma medication used. It is only prescribed when other medications do not adequately control your symptoms.HOW TO USE ADVAIR MDI
- Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before each use.
- Inhalation: Remove the cap and breathe out fully. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips around it. Press down on the canister to release a dose while breathing in deeply. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
- Frequency: Use Advair MDI exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it more often than recommended.
- Cleaning: Clean the mouthpiece regularly with a dry cloth.
