When using the inhaler for the first time or after stopping Qvar for more than a week, prime the unit as directed. A fine mist indicates that the inhaler is working properly. If more than one inhalation is prescribed, wait one full minute between inhalations so you get the full effects of the first dose. If using other inhalers, wait several minutes between the use of each inhaler, and use this one (the corticosteroid) last. Gargle and rinse your mouth after using this to help prevent dryness, relieve throat irritation and to prevent oral yeast infections. Do not swallow the rinse solution. Use Qvar exactly as prescribed. Do not use it more frequently without your doctor s approval. Qvar is not interchangeable with other corticosteroid inhaler products you may have used. This is due to the CFC-free propellant (ozone safe), which delivers medicine to your lungs more efficiently. Consult your pharmacist. Your dose is adjusted based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Maximum benefit may occur after 3-4 weeks. Side Effects May cause a cough, a dry irritated throat, unpleasant taste, hoarseness or nasal congestion, pain or headache. If these effects continue or become bothersome, contact your doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience: white-colored tongue, prolonged mouth or throat irritation, vision changes. Contact your doctor if you experience any of the following signs of low steroid levels: unusual weakness, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, fainting, dizziness. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to Qvar, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Precautions Before you use Qvar, tell your doctor your medical history including: all illnesses and infections, recent exposure to contagious diseases (e.g., chickenpox), glaucoma, cataracts, allergies (especially drug allergies). If within the past 12 months you have switched from an oral corticosteroid (e.g., prednisone) to this inhaler, or if you had been using this product in higher-than-usual doses and suddenly stopped using it, your body may not produce enough natural steroids. You may need to start taking additional corticosteroids, especially if your body is stressed due to major infection, surgery or injury. Consult your doctor. If you cough up mucus that has thickened or changed color from clear white to yellow, green, or gray, contact your doctor; these changes may be signs of an infection. Children and teenagers should be monitored for proper growth patterns while using any corticosteroid medicine. Qvar should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Qvar may be excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Missed Dose Use the missed dose as soon as remembered. Use the remaining doses for that day at evenly spaced intervals. Drug Interactions Before you use Qvar tell your doctor of any over-the-counter or prescription medications you are taking, especially of: oral corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone, prednisone). Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
