FLOVENT DISKUS Counts Your Doses!

FLOVENT DISKUS has a built-in dose counter to tell you how many doses are left. It is located on the top of the DISKUS, above the thumbgrip.

FLOVENT DISKUS contains 60 doses. Each time you use the DISKUS, you are inhaling 1 dose, and the dose indicator number will decrease by 1.

After the DISKUS has delivered 55 (out of 60 available) doses, the numbers 5 to 0 will appear in red to warn you that there are only a few doses remaining.

Effective and safe use of FLOVENT DISKUS includes an understanding of the way that it should be used:

• Never exhale into the DISKUS.
• Never attempt to take the DISKUS apart.
• Always activate and use the DISKUS in a level, horizontal position.
• After inhalation, rinse the mouth with water and spit out. Do not swallow.
• Never wash the mouthpiece or any part of the DISKUS. KEEP IT DRY.
• Always keep the DISKUS in a dry place.
• Discard 6 weeks (50-mcg strength) after removal from the moisture-protective foil overwrap pouch or after all blisters have been used (when the dose indicator reads "0"), whichever comes first.

Important Information About FLOVENT HFA and FLOVENT DISKUS
Prescription FLOVENT HFA and FLOVENT DISKUS are for patients with asthma 4 years of age and older. FLOVENT does not replace fast-acting (rescue) inhalers for sudden symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroids, as well as poorly controlled asthma, may cause a reduction in growth rate. The long-term effect on final adult height is unknown. People switching from an oral steroid, like prednisone, to FLOVENT need to be especially careful. While adjusting to the switch, your body is not as able to heal after surgery, infection, or serious injury. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve.The use of FLOVENT HFA in children 4 to 11 years old is based in part on results of studies in patients 12 years and older and other FLOVENT products.
