Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
Treatment of Asthma
- ASMANEX® HFA is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma as prophylactic therapy in patients 12 years of age and older.
- Important Limitations of Use
- ASMANEX HFA is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm.
Dosing
- ASMANEX HFA should be administered as two inhalations twice daily every day (morning and evening) by the orally inhaled route.
- Shake well prior to each inhalation.
- The recommended doses for ASMANEX HFA treatment based on prior asthma therapy are provided in Table 1.
- If a dosage regimen of ASMANEX HFA fails to provide adequate control of asthma, the therapeutic regimen should be re-evaluated and additional therapeutic options, e.g., replacing the current strength of ASMANEX HFA with a higher strength, initiating an inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta2-agonist combination product, or initiating oral corticosteroids, should be considered.
- The maximum daily recommended dose is two inhalations of ASMANEX HFA 200 mcg twice daily (maximum of 800 mcg a day). If symptoms arise between doses, an inhaled short-acting beta2-agonist should be taken for immediate relief.
- The maximum benefit may not be achieved for 1 week or longer after beginning treatment. Individual patients may experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief. For patients who do not respond adequately after 2 weeks of therapy, higher strength may provide additional asthma control.
- After asthma stability has been achieved, it is desirable to titrate to the lowest effective dosage to reduce the possibility of side effects.
DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
- ASMANEX HFA is a pressurized metered dose inhaler that is available in 2 strengths.
- ASMANEX HFA 100 mcg delivers 100 mcg of mometasone furoate per actuation.
- ASMANEX HFA 200 mcg delivers 200 mcg of mometasone furoate per actuation
