Quick Tips

Asmalin HFA is used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.
The inhalers are called 'reliever' inhalers as they give you quick relief from breathing problems.
Always keep the inhaler upright during loading of the dose and administration steps.
If you feel a slightly sweet tasting powder in your mouth after inhaling, you have received the dose and the active substance has reached your lungs.
Always replace the inhaler cap after you have used the inhaler.
Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
If you need to use Asmalin HFA more than 3 times a week, it could be a sign that your breathing problem is not well controlled. Talk to your doctor about it.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart diseases or if you experience heart racing, headache, or chest pain.
