Fostair Nexthaler 100mcg

Fostair Nexthaler 100/6 mcg Inhaler (Beclometasone/Formoterol)

Fostair Nexthaler is a prescription dry powder inhaler that combines two active medicines to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by reducing airway inflammation and swelling while quickly relaxing the muscles around your airways to help you breathe much more easily.

What It Is Used For

This inhaler is prescribed for:

• Regular daily treatment of asthma in adults

• Treatment of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms

• Preventing sudden breathing difficulties, wheezing, and chest tightness

Main Ingredients

• Beclometasone Dipropionate (100 mcg): A corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation inside the small airways of your lungs over time.

• Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate (6 mcg): A fast-acting bronchodilator that relaxes tight muscle bands around your airways so air flows freely.

• Other Ingredients: Contains lactose monohydrate as a carrier powder (check the pack if you have a severe milk protein allergy).

Important Safety Warnings

🚨 Not a Quick-Relief Rescue Inhaler:

Fostair Nexthaler is a regular maintenance inhaler used every day as prescribed. It is not designed to stop a sudden, severe asthma attack. Always keep a fast-acting rescue inhaler (like salbutamol) with you for sudden breathlessness.

🚨 Rinse Your Mouth After Use:

Because this inhaler contains a steroid, always rinse your mouth thoroughly with water (or brush your teeth) right after taking your dose to prevent fungal infections (oral thrush) in your mouth and throat.

How to Use It

• Standard Dosing Guidelines:

   

  • Adults: The usual dose is 1 inhalation twice daily (morning and evening), or as specifically directed by your doctor or respiratory specialist. Never change your dose without consulting your doctor.

• How to Use the Nexthaler:

   

  1. Open the cover fully until you hear a click.

  2. Breathe out gently away from the inhaler.

  3. Place the mouthpiece between your lips, close your lips firmly around it, and breathe in deeply and forcefully through your mouth.

  4. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for 5 to 10 seconds (or as long as comfortable) before breathing out slowly. Close the cover.

Possible Side Effects

Fostair is generally well-tolerated, but some side effects can sometimes happen:

• Mild throat irritation, hoarseness, or a fungal infection (thrush) in the mouth

• Mild tremors (shakiness in the hands) or palpitations (fast heartbeat) due to the formoterol component

• Mild headache or dizziness in sensitive individuals

How to Store

• Store in a dry place below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat and moisture.

• Keep the protective cover closed until you are ready to take your dose.

• Keep strictly out of the sight and reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• 1. How do I know if the Nexthaler has delivered my dose? The Nexthaler features a dose counter on the top of the device. Each time you open and close the cover properly after inhaling, the counter decreases by one number to show how many doses are left.

• 2. Can I wash my Fostair Nexthaler with water? No. Never wash or get moisture inside your Nexthaler device. If the mouthpiece needs cleaning, you can wipe it gently with a dry, clean tissue.
