Description of Asamanex Twisthaler
Asmanex Twisthaler is an inhaled drug used to treat asthmatic symptoms and control asthma attacks. The active ingredient, mometasone furoate, is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid which reduces irritability in the airways leading to the lungs and inhibits the action of the chemicals and inflammatory cells that trigger allergic asthma attacks. Patients can buy Asmanex Twisthaler in the form of dry powder inhaler canisters of two varied strengths- 110 micrograms and 220 micrograms. A twisthaler differs from a metered dose inhaler in terms how it works. The generic name for Asmanex Twisthaler is Mometasone Furoate
Indications and Dosage of Asamanex Twisthaler
Asmanex Twisthaler is recommended for use in adults and children over four years of age. The dosage varies according to the age of the patient and previous treatments undergone for asthma. The doctor’s guidance is of utmost importance before patients who buy Asmanex Twisthaler start their treatment for optimum benefits. The usual verified dosages are listed below:
- For patients who have been treated with bronchodilators previously and are above or 12 years of age, the daily starting dose can be 220 mcg up to a maximum daily dose of 440 mcg.
- Patients over 12 years of age on corticosteroids can start with 220 mcg daily, up to a maximum daily dose of 440 mcg.
- For patients previously on oral corticosteroids, the dose is be 440 mcg two times each day.
- Children between 4 and 11 years can inhale a maximum dose of 110 mcg.
An important point to be kept in mind is that patients taking their medication once a day should always inhale mometasone furoate in the evening. It should also be remembered that Asmanex Twisthaler is a controller medication and is not effective against an already triggered asthma attack.
The patient should not exhale into the inhaler and should preferably rinse the mouth after each dose to avoid yeast formation in the mouth. The canister should be stored at room temperature and should be discarded on/after the expiry date (generally 45 days since the first dose).
