Notes
Do not share this medication with others.
Learn to use a peak flow meter, use it daily, and promptly report worsening asthma (such as readings in the yellow/red range, increased use of quick-relief inhalers).
Avoid substances that can worsen breathing problems by causing irritation or allergic reaction, such as smoke, pollen, pet dander, dust, and mold.
Because the flu virus can worsen breathing problems, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should have a flu shot every year.
