Posology: Adults: For the relief of acute asthma symptoms including bronchospasm, wheezing, shortness of breath and attacks of acute dyspnoea, or the reversible component of airways obstruction, one inhalation (100 micrograms) may be administered as a single starting dose. This may be increased to two inhalations if necessary. To prevent allergen or exercise induced symptoms, two inhalations should be taken 10-15 minutes before challenge.
For chronic therapy, two inhalations up to four times a day.
Paediatric population: Relief of acute bronchospasm: The usual dosage for children under the age of 12 years: one inhalation (100 micrograms). The dose may be increased to two inhalations if required.
Children aged 12 years and over: Dose as per adult population.
Prevention of allergen or exercise-induced bronchospasm: The usual dosage for children under the age of 12 years: one inhalation (100 micrograms) before challenge or exertion. The dose may be increased to two inhalations if required.
Children aged 12 years and over: Dose as per adult population.
Chronic therapy: The usual dosage for children under the age of 12 years: up to two inhalations 4 times daily.
Children aged 12 years and over: Dose as per adult population.
Elderly: No special dosage recommendations are made for older patients.
For all patients, the maximum recommended dose should not exceed 8 inhalations in 24 hours. Each repetitive dosing, inhalations should not usually be repeated more often than every 4 hours. Reliance on such frequent supplementary use, or a sudden increase in dose, indicates poorly controlled or deteriorating asthma (see Precautions).
Asthalin Inhaler cannot be used with any spacing device at this time. If a patient needs a spacing device an alternative product, which can be used with such a device, will need to be prescribed instead of Asthalin Inhaler.
Method of Administration: For inhalation use.
