What is formoterol and mometasone?

Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways to improve breathing.

Mometasone is a steroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

The combination of formoterol and mometasone is used as a maintenance treatment for asthma in adults and children who are at least 12 years old. This medication is not for use in treating an asthma or bronchospasm attack.

Formoterol and mometasone is usually given after other asthma medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.

Formoterol and mometasone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about formoterol and mometasone?

Do not use formoterol and mometasone to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. Formoterol may increase the risk of asthma-related death. Use only the prescribed dose of this medication, and do not use it for longer than your doctor recommends. Follow all patient instructions for safe use. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks and benefits of using formoterol and mometasone.

Asthma is often treated with a combination of different drugs. Use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Talk with your doctor if your medications do not seem to work as well in treating or preventing attacks. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor.

Seek medical attention if you think any of your asthma medications are not working as well as usual. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.

Talk with your doctor if your medications do not seem to work as well in treating or preventing attacks. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor.

It may take up to 1 week before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week of treatment.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may include nervousness, dry mouth, nausea, sleep problems (insomnia), tremors, muscle cramps, chest pain, fast or pounding heartbeats, feeling weak or light-headed, fainting, or seizure (convulsions).

What should I avoid while using formoterol and mometasone?

Do not use a second form of formoterol (such as Foradil, Perforomist, or Symbicort) or use another similar long-acting inhaled bronchodilator (LABA) such as salmeterol (Advair, Serevent) or arformoterol (Brovana).

Mometasone can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to get sick from being around others who are ill. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using a steroid.
