Information About Aerocort Inhaler

Aerocort Inhaler is a medication used to treat asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath). It relaxes the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier.

Your doctor will advise you on how frequently you should use your inhaler. It is critical that you take the smallest dose required to adequately control your asthma. This medicine’s effect may be visible after a few days, but it will not be at its peak for several weeks. This medication must be taken on a regular basis in order to be successful, therefore continue taking it even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. That indicates that it is performing its job. Your asthma may worsen if you stop taking it. It should not be used to treat unexpected asthma attacks. If you have an asthma attack, use your quick-relief inhaler (reliever). To get the most out of this medication, you must perfect your inhaler technique; otherwise, it will not perform as effectively.

Hoarseness of voice, sore throat, fungal infection of the mouth, respiratory tract infection, headache, and muscular spasm are the most prevalent adverse effects. If you acquire them, don’t stop taking it; instead, consult your doctor. Some of these symptoms can be avoided by washing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using your inhaler. Other, less common, but potentially significant adverse effects exist. If you are concerned about them, consult your doctor. In general, you should aim to avoid situations that aggravate your asthma (your triggers) and avoid smoking.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor about the safety of using this medication. Before taking medication, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver illness so that he or she can prescribe an appropriate amount for you.
