If any of these occur, seek medical attention promptly.

 Dosage & Administration

• Adults and children over 12 years: Typically, 200–800 mcg per day in divided doses. The exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on individual needs.

• Usage Instructions:

  1. Shake the inhaler well before use.

  2. Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece between your teeth and close your lips around it.

  3. Inhale deeply and press down on the inhaler to release a puff of medication.

  4. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.

  5. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it’s almost time for the next dose. Do not double doses.
