How to Use Generic Symbicort (Foracort by Cipla)

Do not use Foracort by Cipla (Generic Symbicort) to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. It will not work fast enough. Use only a fast-acting inhalation medication.

Use Foracort by Cipla (Generic Symbicort) exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not use Foracort by Cipla (Generic Symbicort) in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks and benefits of using this medicine. 

It may take up to 2 weeks of using Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate inhaler before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after the first week of treatment, or if your symptoms get worse. Your doctor will need to check your progress on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. 

First time usage:
Prime the inhaler device before the first use by pumping 4 test sprays into the air, away from your face. Shake the inhaler for at least 5 seconds before each spray. Prime the inhaler if it has not been used for longer than 7 days, or if the inhaler has been dropped. Do not try to clean or take apart the inhaler device. Throw it away when the medicine runs out. Do not float the medicine canister in water. 

Normal usage:
Shake the canister well just before each spray. Uncap the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Breathe out fully. Put the mouthpiece into your mouth and close your lips. Breathe in slowly while pushing down on the canister. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, and then breathe out slowly.
If you use more than one inhalation at a time, wait at least 1 minute before using the second inhalation and shake the inhaler again. Always rinse your mouth after using the inhaler.

Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

The dose indicator on the inhaler will turn red when there are 10 doses left in the device. Get your refilled before you run out of medicine completely. 

Your dose may need to change if you have surgery, are ill, are under stress, or have recently had an asthma attack. Do not change your dosage without advice from your doctor. If you also use a steroid medication, do not stop using the steroid suddenly or you may have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Talk with your doctor about using less and less of the steroid before stopping completely. 

Carry an identification card or wear a medical alert ID to let others know that you may need an oral steroid in an emergency. Seek medical attention if you think any of your asthma medications are not working as well as usual. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack. If you use a peak flow meter at home, call your doctor if your numbers are lower than normal.
