ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler

ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler is a prescription combination inhaler that contains salmeterol and fluticasone propionate in each dose, with the 125 strength as labelled for this product. It combines a long-acting bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid, so it is used for ongoing control of asthma symptoms and to help reduce flare-ups. ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden breathing problems. This specific inhaler format is designed for regular maintenance treatment in people whose asthma needs more than a lower-strength option.

How it works: Salmeterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so they stay open longer and breathing feels easier over time. Fluticasone propionate reduces inflammation and swelling inside the lungs, and the inhaler delivers both medicines directly to the airways.

ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler is a mid-strength option compared with the sibling lower-strength ForAir 100 Respicap and higher-strength ForAir 250 CFC Free Inhaler, ForAir 250 Respicap, and ForAir 500 Novocart Inhaler. A clinician may choose ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler when a lower strength is not enough for asthma control, but a higher strength is not yet needed. It is meant for patients already assessed by a doctor, not for first-time self-starting treatment.

• Long-term asthma control
• Prevention of wheezing
• Reduction of shortness of breath from asthma
• Maintenance treatment to lower asthma flare-ups
• Help with nighttime asthma symptoms

• Use ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler exactly as prescribed; it is not for sudden asthma attacks.
• Shake and prime the inhaler if your device instructions say to do so before the first use or after a long break.
• Exhale fully away from the mouthpiece, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale slowly and deeply while pressing the canister as directed.
• Hold your breath for several seconds after inhaling, then breathe out slowly.
• If your doctor told you to take more than one inhalation, wait the recommended time between puffs.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit after use to lower the risk of thrush and hoarseness.

Each actuation of ForAir 125 CFC free Inhaler provides the labelled 125 strength of salmeterol plus fluticasone propionate in inhaled form. It is typically used on a regular schedule, often twice daily, but the exact number of inhalations and whether any step-up or step-down is needed must be decided by the prescriber. Do not use more than the amount your doctor has prescribed in a day, and do not use it to treat sudden breathing trouble.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
