Combihale FF 125 Inhaler is prescribed for managing asthma (characterized by wheezing and shortness of breath) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (a condition that obstructs the airflow to the lungs).
Combihale FF 125 Inhaler acts by relaxing the muscles in the airways, facilitating easier breathing.
Your physician will provide instructions on the frequency of inhaler use. It’s crucial to use the lowest effective dose to control your asthma. The medication’s effects may become noticeable within a few days but reach their maximum potential after several weeks. Consistent use is essential for its effectiveness, so continue usage even when symptom-free, as it signifies the medication is working. Discontinuing its use may worsen your asthma and COPD. Do not use it for sudden asthma attacks; use a quick-relief inhaler instead. Proper inhaler technique is vital for optimal results; otherwise, it may not be as effective.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infections, oral fungal infections, headaches, hoarseness of voice, sore throat, cough, musculoskeletal (bone, muscle, or joint) pain, and an increased heart rate. If you experience any of these, do not discontinue the medication, but consult your doctor. You can minimize some of these symptoms by rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using the inhaler. There are rarer, more serious side effects, so discuss any concerns with your doctor. In general, try to avoid asthma triggers and refrain from smoking to prevent exacerbating your condition.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor about the safety of using this medication. Inform your doctor about any kidney or liver conditions before taking it to ensure a suitable dosage.
