Product Overview

Adoair 100 Diskus (28 doses) is a dry powder inhaler for asthma and COPD management. Manufactured in Japan to superior pharmaceutical quality standards, it contains a fixed-dose combination of salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate. Each inhalation delivers 50 μg of salmeterol (a long-acting β₂-agonist) and 100 μg of fluticasone (an inhaled corticosteroid). Salmeterol acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing airway muscles for up to 12 hours, while fluticasone reduces airway inflammation. This dual action helps prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, and lung irritation to keep symptoms under control. The Diskus device is breath-actuated – you simply inhale to get the medicine – and provides 28 doses per inhaler. Adoair 100 is a low-strength option, typically suited for mild asthma maintenance or as a starting dose, with higher strengths available for more severe cases. (Note: This inhaler is for daily preventive use and **not** a rescue inhaler for sudden attacks.)

Dosage Guidelines

Use Adoair 100 Diskus exactly as directed by your physician. The usual adult dose is one inhalation twice daily (morning and evening, about 12 hours apart). To use, hold the Diskus flat and push the thumb grip until the device clicks open. Slide the lever to load a dose, then exhale fully away from the inhaler. Seal your lips on the mouthpiece and inhale quickly and deeply to draw the powder into your lungs. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. Close the device after use. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each dose to help prevent oral thrush (fungal infection). Do not exhale into the device or get it wet. It’s important to use this inhaler at the same times every day for best results. If you also use a quick-relief inhaler (e.g. albuterol), use Adoair for maintenance only – use the rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and do not stop therapy abruptly, as asthma/COPD control may worsen if the medication is discontinued.

Possible Side Effects

• Oral thrush (candida infection): White patches or soreness in the mouth/throat can occur due to the steroid. Rinsing your mouth after use greatly reduces this risk.
• Hoarseness or throat irritation: You might experience a sore throat, cough, or a hoarse voice. Gargling after inhalation can help prevent throat irritation.
• Headache: Headaches are a reported side effect in some users. Staying hydrated and using the lowest effective dose can help minimize this.
• Temporary tremors or palpitations: The long-acting β₂-agonist (salmeterol) may cause a brief increase in heart rate or mild hand tremors right after inhalation. These effects are usually short-lived.
• Upper respiratory infections: Some people may catch colds or sinus infections more easily while on inhaled steroids. Notify your doctor if you develop fever, chills, or persistent cough.
• Rare but serious: Allergic reactions (rash, swelling) or paradoxical bronchospasm (worsening breathing difficulty immediately after use) are very rare. If you have severe difficulty breathing after using Adoair, use a rescue inhaler and seek medical help promptly.

Most side effects are mild. Consistently rinsing your mouth and following proper technique will help avoid many side effects. If any side effect worries you or doesn’t go away, consult your healthcare provider for advice.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once or extra doses to make up for the missed one.

Q: How should I store this product?
A: Store the Adoair Diskus in a cool, dry place at room temperature (below ~30°C). Keep it in the sealed foil pouch until you are ready to use the inhaler (opening it only when starting a new Diskus to protect it from moisture). Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or humidity. Always keep the device closed when not in use, and store it out of reach of children.
