reaction to the medicine.<\/li><li>You should always have a tracheal dilator (if needed) with you to quickly relieve the symptoms of an asthma attack (such as coughing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest).<\/li><li>If you have an asthma attack and the attack is not alleviated after using your bronchodilator or if the PEF value drops (your doctor should tell you which PEF value is right for you), you should seek medical attention immediately.&nbsp;Tell your doctor about this as your&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;may be getting worse and you may need to change your medication.<\/li><li>You may also need to take steroid tablets in case of severe asthma attacks, during other illness or periods of stress.&nbsp;Your doctor may give you steroid tablets, which you should take with you along with dosing instructions that will advise you on when and how to use them.<\/li><li>If you take Asmanex and reduce the&nbsp;dose of&nbsp;one of the steroid tablets that you are already taking, you may experience symptoms such as&nbsp;itching, watery eyes, or rash, which were previously under control.&nbsp;Your doctor will tell you how to control these symptoms.&nbsp;If you begin to feel joint or muscle pain, depression, fatigue, or feeling sleepy during this time, tell your doctor.<\/li><li>Avoid contact with people who have measles or chickenpox when using&nbsp;inhaled steroids.&nbsp;If you come in contact with someone who has any of these&nbsp;infections, tell your doctor.&nbsp;This is especially important when it comes to children.<\/li><li>Treatment with drugs like Asmanex Twisthaler can change your normal steroid levels in the body.&nbsp;One effect of this may be that young people who are treated for a long time can grow more slowly.&nbsp;Your doctor will probably check your height from time to time.<\/li><li>All&nbsp;steroids, especially when used for a long time, can affect the function of the adrenal glands.&nbsp;Your doctor can check this through a blood test.<\/li><li>Remember to bring this medicine and other medicines with you if you need to go to a hospital.<\/li><li>Your doctor may check your lungs during treatment, especially if you are about to stop taking corticosteroid tablets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No data are available and should not be used for children under 12 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Asmanex Twisthaler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.&nbsp;This also applies to medicines used to treat fungal or viral infections such as&nbsp;ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, nelfinavir, or cobicistat.&nbsp;These drugs can increase steroid levels in the blood.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some medicines may increase the effects of Asmanex Twisthaler and your doctor may want to monitor you closely if you are taking these medicines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important that you tell your doctor before using Asmanex Twisthaler if you are taking other&nbsp;steroids, either by&nbsp;injection&nbsp;, by mouth, or by&nbsp;inhalation.&nbsp;Your doctor will tell you how to adjust the&nbsp;dose of&nbsp;one of these&nbsp;steroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breast-feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asmanex Twisthaler is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asmanex Twisthaler contains lactose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains a small amount of&nbsp;lactose&nbsp;(4.64 mg per day when taking the highest recommended daily&nbsp;dose&nbsp;).&nbsp;This amount does not normally cause problems for lactose-intolerant people.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How to use Asmanex Twisthaler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you know how to use your Twisthaler properly.&nbsp;Handle the inhaler carefully so that you do not drop it as it may not work properly.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.&nbsp;Make sure you know when and how many&nbsp;doses you should inhale.&nbsp;Your doctor should have told you this and the instructions should be on the pharmacy label.&nbsp;Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;<strong>Never&nbsp;change your&nbsp;dose&nbsp;unless your doctor tells you to.&nbsp;<\/strong>Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For adults (including patients over 65 years of age) and adolescents 12 years of age and older, with mild to moderate&nbsp;asthma, the recommended starting dose is 400 micrograms (1&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or&nbsp;inhalation&nbsp;) once daily in the evening, requiring Asmanex Twisthaler 400 micrograms&nbsp;inhalation powder.&nbsp;For some patients, the starting dose may be 200 micrograms (1&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or&nbsp;inhalation&nbsp;) twice daily, which requires Asmanex Twisthaler 200 micrograms of&nbsp;inhalation powder.&nbsp;If your&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;is under control, your doctor may reduce the&nbsp;dose by&nbsp;one to 200 micrograms (1&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or&nbsp;inhalation)by Asmanex Twisthaler 200 micrograms&nbsp;inhalation powder&nbsp;) once a day in the evening.&nbsp;Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may increase or decrease your daily dose to keep your&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;under control.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For patients with severe&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;who may be taking other steroid tablets, the usual starting dose for Asmanex Twisthaler is 400 micrograms twice daily, which is the highest recommended&nbsp;dose.&nbsp;After about a week of treatment with Asmanex Twisthaler, your doctor may start to reduce the&nbsp;dose of&nbsp;one of the other&nbsp;corticosteroids&nbsp;very slowly until you can stop taking it completely.&nbsp;It may then be possible to reduce the&nbsp;dose of&nbsp;one of the Asmanex Twisthaler if your&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;is well controlled.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions on how to use your&nbsp;inhaler&nbsp;correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that Asmanex Twisthaler emits a very fine powder that you must inhale into your lungs.&nbsp;You should have an upright position when using your Twisthaler.&nbsp;Follow these instructions carefully to obtain the correct&nbsp;dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before removing the white protective sleeve, make sure that the counter and the arrow on the protective sleeve are facing each other.&nbsp;Open the inhaler by removing the white protective sleeve.&nbsp;Hold the inhaler upright with the pink base facing down (Asmanex Twisthaler 200 micrograms&nbsp;inhalation powder&nbsp;) or the reddish-brown base facing down (Asmanex Twisthaler 400 micrograms&nbsp;inhaling powder&nbsp;).&nbsp;Grasp the base and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to remove it.&nbsp;When you remove the sleeve, the inhaler dose counter will reduce the number by one.&nbsp;Make sure the counter on the pink or maroon base and the cursor above the counter are facing each other.&nbsp;Hold the inhaler upright after removing the sleeve and before taking your&nbsp;dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To take your&nbsp;dose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) remove the protective sleeve from the inhaler (Fig. 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) bring the inhaler to your mouth with the mouthpiece facing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) insert the mouthpiece of the inhaler into your mouth, close your lips around the mouthpiece and take a quick, deep breath (Figure 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) take the inhaler out of your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds or as long as it feels good.&nbsp;Do not exhale through the inhaler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) replace the protective sleeve immediately after each&nbsp;inhalation&nbsp;to close the inhaler.&nbsp;The sleeve must be replaced properly and rotated to load&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one for the next&nbsp;inhalation.&nbsp;To do this, turn the sleeve clockwise while gently pushing the sleeve down until a clicking sound is heard and the sleeve is completely closed (Fig. 3).&nbsp;The marker on the sleeve must be directed towards the counter window (Fig. 4).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the base of the inhaler, there is a window with a counter.&nbsp;This shows the number of&nbsp;doses&nbsp;left in the inhaler.&nbsp;Do not use Asmanex Twisthaler if the calculator does not work properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take it to a doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the counter shows \u201c01\u201d, it means that only one&nbsp;dose&nbsp;remains in the inhaler.&nbsp;When&nbsp;dose&nbsp;a 01 is taken, the counter will show &#8220;00&#8221;, the sleeve will lock and the inhaler cannot be used, which must then be discarded.&nbsp;To be sure you always have enough medicine, be sure to get a new prescription from your doctor before the inhaler is empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no set time for how fast the treatment works.&nbsp;Some patients may receive some relief within 24 hours of starting treatment;&nbsp;others experience the greatest benefit only after one to two weeks or later.&nbsp;Your doctor will tell you how long to use Asmanex Twisthaler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use more Asmanex Twisthaler than you should&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important that you take a&nbsp;dose&nbsp;as stated on the package
