Why is Dulera prescribed?

Dulera, a combination of Mometasone and Formoterol, is an oral inhalation medication used to control and prevent symptoms of asthma such as cough, chest tightness, difficulty of breathing, and wheezing in adults and children 5 years of age and older.

What does it do?

Formoterol is classified as a long-acting bronchodilator that works by relaxing the airways to improve breathing. Mometasone, on the other hand, belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids that inhibits the release of certain substances that cause inflammation. Together, these to medications aid in controlling and preventing symptoms of asthma.

How should I use it?

Dulera (Mometasone/Formoterol) is currently available as 50mcg/5mcg, 100mcg/5mcg, and 200mcg/5mcg aerosol inhaler, inhaled by mouth. After each inhalation, rinse your mouth and gargle without swallowing. Each type of inhaler has its set of instructions regarding its priming, usage, and cleaning. Make sure to follow the directions and ask a pharmacist or respiratory therapist for instructions in using inhalers properly. Pediatric patients should be assisted when administering this medication.

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 use 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, used 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 Dulera?

Dulera is NOT a rescue medication for acute attacks of asthma. In case of a sudden asthma attack, use the rescue inhaler prescribed by your doctor.
