Asco Air Inhaler

What is Asco Air Inhaler

The Asco Air Inhaler is made to help you breathe easier when symptoms try to get in the way of your day. It is a metered-dose inhaler that delivers medicine directly into your lungs, where it can act quickly and have less impact on the rest of your body than a pill.

Many people reach for an inhaler during asthma flares, exercise-induced symptoms, or when breathing feels tight. Depending on the version you receive, it may be used as a quick-relief option or a daily controller.

Always follow your prescription label and your clinician’s instructions.

What it may help with

• Sudden wheeze and chest tightness
• Shortness of breath during a flare or exercise
• Day-to-day symptom control if your prescriber has you on a maintenance plan

How it works

The inhaler delivers a measured puff of medication into your airways. Some versions relax the muscles around your airways for quick relief. Others reduce airway swelling over time.

The exact active ingredient can vary by supplier and region, so check your box label and patient leaflet for the medicine name and strength.

How to use it correctly

• Shake the inhaler well before each puff.
• If new or not used for a while, prime as directed on the label.
• Breathe out entirely away from the inhaler.
• Place the mouthpiece in your mouth with a good seal.
• Start to breathe in slowly, then press the canister once as you continue a deep, steady breath.
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale gently.
• Wait 30 to 60 seconds between puffs if you need a second puff.
• If your inhaler contains a steroid, rinse your mouth and spit after use to lower the risk of throat irritation.

Tips for better results

• A spacer can make each puff easier and more effective, especially for kids or anyone who has trouble timing their puffs.
• Track your puffs. Many devices have 120 or 200 actuations. When it hits zero, replace it, even if it still sprays.
• If you are using your rescue inhaler more often than usual, that is a sign to speak with your clinician.

Possible side effects

• Common: throat irritation, cough after a puff, dry mouth, mild shakiness, a fast heartbeat
• Less common: headache, hoarseness, oral thrush if the medicine is a steroid
• If side effects are severe or persist, contact your healthcare provider. Seek urgent help if breathing gets worse after use.

Who should talk to a clinician first

• People with heart problems, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, glaucoma, or prostate trouble
• Anyone pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing
• Those taking other inhalers, stimulants, or certain antidepressants
• Tell your provider about all medicines and supplements you use.

Storage and care

• Keep at room temperature and away from heat or open flame.
• Do not puncture or burn the canister.
• Keep the cap on to protect the mouthpiece from dust.
• Clean the mouthpiece as shown on the leaflet, usually weekly.

When to get medical help

• If you need more puffs than prescribed
• If relief does not last as long as it used to
• If you notice blue lips, severe chest tightness, or trouble speaking in complete sentences
• This information is general. Your own clinician should develop your exact plan.
