Notes

Lab and/or medical tests (such as blood pressure, heart rate, EKG, blood potassium levels, blood sugar levels, lung function) may be done while you are using this medication. Keep all medical and lab appointments. Consult your doctor for more details.

Avoid allergens/irritants that can worsen breathing problems, such as smoke, pollen, pet dander, dust, or molds.

Learn to use a peak flow meter, use it daily, and promptly report worsening breathing problems (such as readings in the yellow/red range, increased use of quick-relief inhalers).

Because the flu virus can worsen breathing problems, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should have a flu shot every year.
