Product Overview

Adoair 125 Aerosol is a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate. Each puff delivers 125 μg of fluticasone propionate and 25 μg of salmeterol. The inhaler provides 120 metered doses in a pressurized canister. This medication reduces airway inflammation and causes long-lasting bronchodilation, helping to control symptoms of asthma and prevent attacks. Adoair 125 Aerosol is a mid-strength option in the Adoair lineup, offering a higher steroid dose than Adoair 50 but lower than Adoair 250. It is indicated for the maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma (for patients who need an inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta₂-agonist combination) and is also approved in Japan for the relief of symptoms of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) when such combination therapy is necessary. Manufactured in Japan to high quality standards by GlaxoSmithKline, this product ensures a safe and effective therapy for respiratory conditions.

Dosage Guidelines

Follow your doctor’s instructions on how to use Adoair 125 Aerosol. For adults, a common dosage is two inhalations twice daily (morning and evening), which provides a total of 250 μg of fluticasone per dose. Do not change your dosage or frequency without medical advice. (Note: Adoair 125 is generally prescribed for adult or adolescent patients; lower-strength inhalers are usually preferred for younger children.)

How to use the inhaler:

• Shake the inhaler well before each use.
• Exhale fully, then seal your lips around the mouthpiece. Inhale slowly and deeply through your mouth while pressing down on the canister to release a puff.
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds after inhalation, if possible, then exhale slowly.
• If you need a second puff, wait about 1 minute and then repeat the above steps for the next inhalation.
• After using the inhaler, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to help prevent throat irritation and oral thrush.

Important: Use Adoair 125 Aerosol regularly as a maintenance inhaler; do not use it to treat a sudden asthma attack. It will not provide immediate relief during an acute attack. Always have a quick-relief bronchodilator (rescue inhaler) available for emergencies and use it as directed by your physician.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects of Adoair 125 Aerosol are similar to those of other fluticasone/salmeterol inhalers. They may include:

• Hoarseness (changes in voice)
• Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth/throat)
• Sore throat or throat irritation (sometimes causing cough)
• Headache
• Mild tremor or palpitations (a slight shaky feeling or rapid heartbeat)

These side effects are usually mild. Rinsing your mouth after each use can help minimize the risk of thrush and hoarseness. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
Serious side effects are rare. These may include allergic reactions (such as rash, hives, swelling of the face or throat, or breathing difficulties) or severe low potassium levels. In COPD patients, pneumonia has been observed in some cases with similar inhalers. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience severe or unusual symptoms.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose of Adoair 125?
A: If you forget to take a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your normal schedule. Do not inhale extra puffs to compensate for a missed dose.

Q: How should I store this inhaler?
A: Store Adoair 125 Aerosol at room temperature, away from excessive heat (below 30°C) and direct sunlight. Do not puncture the canister or throw it into fire. Keep the protective cap on when not in use, and do not detach the metal canister from the plastic actuator. Clean the mouthpiece at least once a week by wiping it with a dry tissue to prevent clogging. Keep out of reach of children.

Q: Should I rinse my mouth after using Adoair 125?
A: Yes. Rinsing your mouth and gargling with water after each use is recommended. This removes any medication residue in your mouth/throat and helps prevent infections like oral thrush and voice hoarseness. Always spit out the water after rinsing.

Q: Is Adoair 125 Aerosol the same as Advair or Seretide?
A: Yes. Adoair 125 Aerosol contains the same active ingredients (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) as Advair/Seretide inhalers used in other countries. The “125” denotes the fluticasone strength per puff (125 μg), which corresponds to a medium-dose Advair/Seretide inhaler. Adoair is simply the brand name in Japan, and it is manufactured to the same high standards of quality and efficacy.
