Contraindications

Warnings

Children 4 to 11 years of age: The usual recommended dose of inhaled mometasone is 100 µg inhaled orally (by mouth), once daily in the evening.

Adults and children over 12 years of age: The usual recommended dose of inhaled mometasone is 200 µg to 400 inhaled orally, once daily in the evening. Some people who have previously been using high doses of inhaled steroids may respond better to 200 µg inhaled twice a day. The maximum dose is 800 µg per day.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Your doctor may increase or decrease the dose, depending on how well it works for you. Once the breathing difficulties are under control, the dose should be decreased to the lowest possible dose that keeps the asthma under control. If asthma worsens while using Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh), your doctor may instruct you to increase the dose or use the medication more frequently.

The mometasone inhaler is breath activated. The amount of powder inhaled with each dose is very small. You may not be able to taste it or feel in going into your lungs. However, the medication will be getting into your lungs if you follow the instructions on how to use the inhaler. If you are not sure how to use your inhaler, ask your pharmacist or doctor to show you.

Treatment with Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) should not be stopped abruptly. It should be tapered off gradually to reduce the chance of the symptoms worsening.

To reduce the risk of thrush (yeast) infection in the mouth, rinse and gargle with water after inhaling the medication.

It is important to remember that Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) will not provide immediate relief for an asthma attack that has already started. Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) is intended for long-term relief. Inhalers that contain "reliever" medications with fast action (e.g., salbutamol, terbutaline) will still be needed while using Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) on a regular basis.

Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) works best when it is used regularly. It is important to take Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Asmanex Twisthaler (Mometasone-furoate-inh) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. The device is packaged in a sealed foil pouch. Keep it in the sealed pouch until you are ready to begin using it. Discard the device and any remaining medication 2 months after opening the package.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
