Zenhale How to Take

This is a combination medication that contains mometasone furoate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate.

Mometasone furoate is a corticosteroid. It is used to prevent Asthma attacks because it reduces swelling and irritation in the walls of the small air passages of the lungs.

Formoterol belongs to the class of medications known as bronchodilators. It helps to open airways and make breathing easier. The effect lasts for 12 hours.

The product is for people 12 years of age or older who need treatment for asthma, and for whom the doctor recommends a combination product. It should not be used as a "rescue" medication for sudden asthma symptoms.

Zenhale may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Zenhale may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Zenhale may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Zenhale without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Zenhale to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Zenhale Dosage

Zenhale is taken as 2 inhalations twice a day (morning and evening). It should be used regularly to receive the most benefit from the medication.

The effectiveness of the medication depends on the proper use of the inhaler. Have your doctor or pharmacist instruct you in the correct usage of the inhaler. Rinse your mouth and gargle with water after using the inhaler to help prevent thrush (yeast infection of the mouth) from developing.

Many things can affect the dose of a 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.

It is important to use Zenhale exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible 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 Zenhale at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Zenhale Precautions

There may be an interaction between formoterol - mometasone and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Zenhale. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Zenhale Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Zenhale.

Asthma attacks: Zenhale is not a "reliever" medication. If you start developing asthma symptoms, be sure to use your reliever medication for rapid relief of your asthma symptoms. It is very important that you have your reliever medication with you at all times. If you persistently use more of your reliever medication, contact your doctor.

Diabetes: Both formoterol and mometasone may cause an increase in blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, you may find it necessary to monitor your blood sugar more frequently while using Zenhale. If you have diabetes or are at risk for developing diabetes, discuss with your doctor how Zenhale may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zenhale, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Eye problems: If you are at risk of developing glaucoma or cataracts, have your eyes checked by your doctor before starting long-term treatment with Zenhale. You should have your eyes monitored at regular intervals while using Zenhale.

Heart rhythm: Beta-agonists such as formoterol can cause changes to the normal rhythm of the heart, including an irregular heartbeat called QT prolongation. QT prolongation is a serious life-threatening condition that can cause fainting, seizures, and sudden death.

Formoterol may cause a fluttering of the heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) or rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, chest pain, and decreased oxygen reaching the heart muscle.

If you are at risk for heart rhythm problems (e.g., people with heart failure, Angina, low potassium or magnesium levels), discuss with your doctor how Zenhale may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zenhale, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Infections: Corticosteroids, such as mometasone, can reduce your body’s ability to fight infections and may hide signs of infection that is developing. Infections such as Chickenpox and Measles can be more serious for people taking medications such as fluticasone. If you are exposed to someone with chickenpox or measles, contact your doctor.

Inhalation-induced bronchospasm: Inhaled forms of medications may cause spasms of the airways, which make breathing difficult. If you experience this problem when using formoterol - mometasone, stop using Zenhale immediately. Speak to your doctor if you experience any problems with breathing while taking this or other inhaled medication.

Medical conditions: Discuss with your doctor how Zenhale may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zenhale, and whether any special monitoring is needed, if you have any of the following conditions:

  • herpes simplex (virus) infection of the eye
  • liver disease
  • low levels of potassium in the blood
  • problems with Thyroid or adrenal glands
  • tuberculosis
  • any other type of untreated infection

Oral hygiene: Adequate oral hygiene, such as rinsing your mouth with water after using Zenhale, helps reduce the chances of developing a yeast infection of the mouth or throat (thrush). If you develop symptoms of thrush, such as white patches in your mouth, contact your doctor.

Osteoporosis: Long-term use of corticosteroids, including inhaled corticosteroids such as mometasone, may increase the risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. If your doctor recommends that you use Zenhale for a lengthy period of time, talk to your doctor about supplements and strategies to slow down and reduce bone loss.

Risks of similar medications: The results of a large clinical trial showed an increased risk of asthma-related death for patients who used another long-acting bronchodilator (salmeterol) in addition to their usual asthma therapy when compared to patients who used placebo (an inactive medication) in addition to their usual asthma therapy. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate (one of the active ingredients is Zenhale) is also a long-acting bronchodilator. It is unknown whether this product would have similar results.

Steroid medication use: If you have taken oral steroid medications over the last several months or are still taking oral corticosteroids, consult with your doctor before using Zenhale. In times of stress or during a severe asthma attack, your doctor may want you to start your oral steroid medication again.

Stopping the medication: Zenhale contains an inhaled corticosteroid, mometasone furoate. Abruptly stopping inhaled corticosteroids can make asthma worse. Do not stop Zenhale suddenly. Instead, speak to your doctor about how to stop the medication safely by gradually reducing the dose.

Worsening symptoms: If you find you need to use your short-acting ("rescue") inhaler more often or if your condition seems to worsen, call your doctor. If you have not been given instructions beforehand, contact your doctor immediately about what to do if any of the following situations occur (they may be signs of seriously worsening asthma):

  • decreased effectiveness of short-acting, inhaled bronchodilators such as salbutamol, terbutaline, or fenoterol (less than 4 hours of relief)
  • need for more inhalations than usual of short-acting, inhaled bronchodilators
  • peak flow meter showing results in the below-normal range

Pregnancy: Zenhale should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Zenhale, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: It is not known if Zenhale passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Zenhale, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children less than 12 years of age.
