What is Dulera Inhaler (Mometasone/Formoterol) prescribed for?

This medication is used to control and prevent symptoms from asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It contains two medicines; Mometasone and Formoterol. Mometasone works by reducing the irritation and the swelling of the airways. Whereas Formoterol woks by opening the airways in the lungs to make breathing less of a chore.

This medication should be used when a breathing problem cannot be controlled with one asthma control medication or if your symptoms need a combination treatment.

Also it is important to learn how to use this medication properly.  And it must be used regularly to be effective. However it does not work right away and should be not be used to relieve any sudden asthma attacks that may occur. As you should have a quick-relief inhaler for that situation.

This medication comes in three different strengths which are 50mcg/5mcg, 100mcg/5mcg, and 200mcg/5mcg. Also keep in mind that this medication is known as Zenhale on an international level. Remember your dose is based on your medical background and your overall response to the treatment. If your doctor or pharmacist has given you some information in the form of a pamphlet, take the time to read up on this drug, and if you have any questions or concerns regarding this medication, please consult your doctor.

Prime the inhaler if you are using it for the first time, or if you have used it in over 5 days.  There are also instructions that you may follow if you like.  Shake the inhaler well before each use. Remove the cap, than inhale the medication into the mouth. It is usually taken twice a day, once in the evening and once at night.

Rinse your mouth our with water after each use to help prevent dryness, irritation and yeast infections in your mouth and throat.  Do not swallow the rinse water.

If you are prescribed 2 puffs, make sure to wipe the outside of the mouthpiece once a week with a dry tissue. Do not use water or other liquids, and do not take the inhaler apart.
