PRECAUTIONS
Precaution
Increasing use of short-acting inhaled ß2-agonists to control asthma symptoms indicates deterioration of asthma control. Under these conditions, the patient's therapy plan should be reassessed. Sudden and progressive deterioration in asthma control is potentially life-threatening and consideration should be given to increasing corticosteroid dosage. In patients considered at risk, daily peak flow monitoring may be instituted.
WARNINGS
Warning 1
Patients inhaler technique should be checked to make sure that inhaler actuation is synchronised with inspiration to ensure optimum delivery of the medicine to the lungs.
Warning 2
It is recommended that the height of children receiving prolonged treatment with inhaled corticosteroid is regularly monitored.
