Why is Asmanex prescribed?

Asmanex, with generic name Mometasone, is an oral inhalation medication used to prevent symptoms of asthma, like coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing. It can be used by both adults and children.

What does it do?

Mometasone is a corticosteroid that decreases irritation and swelling of the airways to relieve the symptoms mentioned above and to allow for easier breathing.

How should I use it?

Asmanex is currently available as 100mcg and 200mcg aerosol inhaler (Asmanex HFA) and 200mcg and 220mcg inhalation powder (Asmanex Twisthaler). Each type of inhaler has its set of instructions regarding its priming, usage, and cleaning. Make sure to follow the directions and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, use it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never administer two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before using Asmanex?

Asmanex is NOT a rescue medication for an acute asthma attack.

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Asmanex or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.
