Product Overview

Adoair 500 Diskus (60 doses) is a high-strength combination inhaler from Japan for patients with severe or persistent bronchial asthma. Each inhalation provides 50 μg of salmeterol and 500 μg of fluticasone propionate, the highest dosage in the Adoair range. This potent dual-action therapy suppresses airway inflammation and maintains long-lasting bronchodilation (approximately 12 hours per dose) to help prevent asthma symptoms and attacks when used regularly. (This 500 Diskus is not indicated for COPD.)

Dosage Guidelines

Use Adoair 500 Diskus exactly as directed by your doctor. The usual adult dosage for severe asthma is one inhalation (50 μg salmeterol + 500 μg fluticasone) twice daily. Do not exceed two inhalations per day, as using more increases the risk of side effects without added benefit. Each Diskus contains 60 doses (approximately a one-month supply if used twice daily). Use it at the same times each day for consistent asthma control. If your asthma remains uncontrolled on this dose, consult your doctor – other treatments may be needed. Adoair 500 Diskus is for adults only (not for children). Keep the device sealed in its foil pouch until first use and follow the inhalation instructions carefully.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include oral thrush (yeast infection in the mouth) and hoarseness. Rinsing your mouth after each use is especially important to help prevent these. Throat irritation, cough, or dry mouth may also occur. The bronchodilator can cause tremors, headache, or a fast heartbeat (palpitations) in some people. Stop using the inhaler and seek medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction such as rash or swelling. Long-term use of this high-dose inhaler may lead to systemic steroid effects (e.g., adrenal suppression or bone loss), so regular check-ups are recommended. (Note: Adoair 500 is not for COPD patients – high-dose use in COPD was linked to a higher risk of pneumonia.) Most side effects are manageable; inform your doctor if any severe or persistent side effects occur.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.

Q: How should I store Adoair Diskus?
A: Store the Diskus at room temperature (below 30°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in its unopened foil pouch until you’re ready to use it. Keep all medications out of reach of children.

Q: Can I use this inhaler during an asthma attack?
A: No. Adoair 500 Diskus is a maintenance inhaler and will not give immediate relief during a sudden asthma attack. Use a fast-acting rescue inhaler (such as albuterol) for sudden symptoms and seek medical help if needed. Always keep a rescue inhaler available for emergencies.

Q: Should I continue using Adoair even if I feel better?
A: Yes. Use Adoair every day as prescribed, even if you feel fine, to maintain long-term asthma control. Do not stop it suddenly without your doctor’s guidance – stopping abruptly can cause your asthma to worsen. If your doctor decides to adjust your treatment, follow their instructions for tapering off.
