How Should You Use Flovent Rotadisk (Inhalation)

Powder Under Pressure, Liquid Under Pressure

• Your doctor will tell you how much of this medicine to use and how often. Do not use more medicine or use it more often than your doctor tells you to.
• Flovent® is a liquid that is inhaled with a device called a metered-dose inhaler. The inhaler fits on the medicine canister and turns the medicine into a fine spray that you breathe in through your mouth and to your lungs. You may be told to use a spacer, which is a tube that is placed between the inhaler and your mouth. Your caregiver will show you how to use your inhaler and the spacer (if needed).
• Flovent Rotadisk® is a powder that is inhaled with a device called a Diskhaler®. Four measured doses of the powder are held in a foil blister package that is placed into the Diskhaler®. The Diskhaler® pierces each blister one at a time to load the correct dose into the chamber when you are ready to use the medicine.
• Shake the Flovent® metered-dose inhaler before using it. Avoid spraying this medicine into your eyes. Test spray in the air before using for the first time or if the inhaler has not been used for a while.
• Flovent® and Flovent Rotadisk® both come with patient instructions about how to use the inhaler devices. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about how to use the inhaler.
• Rinse your mouth out with water after inhaling this medicine.
• Carefully follow the patient instructions about cleaning and caring for your inhaler.
• Never share your medicine with anyone.
If a dose is missed:
• If you miss a dose or forget to use your medicine, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, wait until then to use the medicine and skip the missed dose.
• Do not use extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
