Quick Tips
This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed. It should be taken at the same time each day. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing. Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help. Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat. Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using. Your doctor may regularly monitor your blood potassium level as low oxygen level in the blood (hypoxia) and medicines such as Duojet 1.25mg/500mcg Respules (2.5 ml Each) can lower blood potassium level. Only miniscule amounts of Duojet 1.25mg/500mcg Respules (2.5 ml Each) may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence serious side effects are unlikely.
