Airsupra 90/80mcg Inhaler 120 Doses

Description

Airsupra 90/80mcg Inhaler is a prescription combination inhaler containing albuterol and budesonide, used by adults with asthma for the as-needed relief and prevention of sudden breathing symptoms. Taken when symptoms occur, it works to relax tightened airway muscles and reduce airway inflammation, helping to ease bronchoconstriction and lower the risk of asthma attacks. This 120-dose metered-dose inhaler is prescription-only and should be used exactly as directed by your doctor.

How It Works

Airsupra combines two medicines that target asthma symptoms in different ways. Albuterol, a fast-acting beta2-agonist, quickly relaxes the muscles around the airways so they can open and make breathing easier. Budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid, reduces inflammation inside the airways. Used together as needed, they help relieve sudden symptoms and reduce the risk of severe asthma attacks. Airsupra is a reliever inhaler, not a daily maintenance controller.


Important Information

Airsupra is a prescription-only medicine for adults 18 years and older. It is a reliever, not a daily maintenance controller, and should not replace your regular asthma treatment unless your doctor advises. Do not exceed the maximum dose, as overuse of inhaled sympathomimetics can cause serious heart-related effects. Tell your doctor if you need Airsupra more often than usual, as your asthma plan may need review. Stop use and seek urgent care if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling, rash, or worsening breathing. Use with caution if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or seizure disorders. Commonly reported side effects can include headache, cough, and mouth or throat irritation. Store at room temperature, keep away from heat and sunlight, and do not puncture the canister. Always read the patient information leaflet and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist with any questions.

Ingredients

Each actuation of Airsupra delivers albuterol 90mcg and budesonide 80mcg. The recommended dose is two actuations, giving a total of albuterol 180mcg and budesonide 160mcg.

• Albuterol (salbutamol) - a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist that acts as a bronchodilator

• Budesonide - an inhaled corticosteroid that acts as an anti-inflammatory

Airsupra is the first inhaled corticosteroid and short-acting beta-agonist combination approved as an as-needed reliever for asthma. Each canister is a pressurised metered-dose inhaler containing 120 actuations, with a dose indicator that shows how many inhalations remain.

How to Use

Use Airsupra only as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose for adults 18 years and older is two inhalations taken as needed when asthma symptoms occur.

1. Prime the inhaler before first use by releasing four sprays into the air, and re-prime with two sprays if it has not been used for more than seven days, has been dropped, or after cleaning.

2. Shake well, breathe out gently, then inhale one actuation; repeat for the second actuation.

3. Rinse your mouth with water after use to help reduce the risk of oral thrush.

Do not use more than six doses (12 inhalations) in a 24-hour period.
