Greetings

We understand that you are looking for Foster Nexthaler from us as part of your treatment for asthma. The good news is we do have the medication that you’re searching for and you may do so by clicking here.

You should be aware of the special precautions. This includes that the dose is recommended to be tapered when the treatment is discontinued; treatment should not be stopped abruptly.

The management of asthma should normally follow a stepwise programme and patient response should be monitored clinically and by lung function tests.

If patients find the treatment ineffective medical attention must be sought. Increasing use of rescue bronchodilators indicates a worsening of the underlying condition and warrants a reassessment of the asthma therapy. Sudden and progressive deterioration in control of asthma is potentially life-threatening and the patient should undergo urgent medical assessment. Consideration should be given to the need for increased treatment with corticosteroids, either inhaled or oral therapy, or antibiotic treatment if an infection is suspected.

Foster NEXThaler is not intended for the initial management of asthma.
For treatment of acute asthma attacks patients should be advised to have their short-acting bronchodilator available at all times.

Patients should be reminded to take Foster NEXThaler daily as prescribed even when asymptomatic.

Once asthma symptoms are controlled, consideration may be given to gradually reducing the dose of Foster. Regular review of patients as treatment is stepped down is important.

Systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids may occur, particularly at high doses prescribed for prolonged periods.

These effects are much less likely to occur than with oral corticosteroids. Possible systemic effects include Cushing’s syndrome, Cushingoid features, adrenal suppression, growth retardation in children and adolescents, decrease in bone mineral density, cataract, glaucoma, and more rarely, a range of psychological or behavioural effects including psychomotor hyperactivity, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression or aggression (particularly in children). It is important therefore that the dose of inhaled corticosteroid is titrated to the lowest dose at which effective control of asthma is maintained.

Foster NEXThaler should be administered with caution in patients with active or quiescent pulmonary tuberculosis, fungal and viral infections in the airways.

Foster NEXThaler should be used with caution (which may include monitoring) in patients with cardiac arrhythmias, especially third degree atrioventricular block and tachyarrhythmias, idiopathic subvalvular aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, ischaemic heart disease, severe heart failure, severe arterial hypertension and aneurysm.

Caution is also required when Foster NEXThaler is used by patients with thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, phaeochromocytoma and untreated hypokalaemia.

Potentially serious hypokalaemia may result from beta2-agonist therapy. Particular caution is advised in severe asthma as this effect may be potentiated by hypoxia. Hypokalaemia may also be potentiated by concomitant treatment with other drugs which can induce hypokalaemia, such as xanthine derivatives, steroids and diuretics (see Interactions). Caution is also recommended in unstable asthma when a number of “rescue” bronchodilators may be used. It is recommended that serum potassium levels are monitored in such situations.

The inhalation of formoterol may cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Therefore blood glucose should be closely monitored in patients with diabetes.
If anaesthesia with halogenated anaesthetics is planned, it should be ensured that Foster NEXThaler is not administered for at least 12 hours before the start of anaesthesia as there is a risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
Patients should be advised to rinse the mouth or gargle with water or brush the teeth after inhaling the prescribed dose to minimise the risk of oropharyngeal fungal infections and dysphonia.

Lactose contains small amounts of milk proteins, which may cause allergic reactions.
Effects on ability to drive and use machines: Foster NEXThaler has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
