Description:
Aerocort Inhaler is used to treat asthma (wheezing, shortness of breath). It relaxes the muscles of the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Your doctor will advise you how often you should take your inhaler. It is critical that you take the lowest dose required to adequately manage your asthma. This medication's effect may be visible after a few days, but it will not be fully effective for several weeks. To be successful, this medication must be taken on a daily basis, therefore continue taking it even if you don't feel any effects. That suggests it is doing its job. If you stop taking it, your asthma could worsen. It should not be used to treat a sudden asthma attack. If you get an asthma attack, use your quick-relief inhaler. To gain the advantage of this treatment, you must ensure that your inhaler technique is correct; otherwise, it does not work as well.
