Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while using Flovent diskus as follows:
- Do not use a spacer with the Flovent inhalation diskus, as spacers cannot help powder form of the inhaler.
- Do not wet or wash the Flovent diskus and the mouthpiece. Always, maintain them dry.
- After loading the medication ready to inhale, one important precaution regarding using a Flovent diskus is to not drop the diskus or change the position of the diskus or breathe into the diskus. This can result in losing the dose of Flovent loaded and wastage of the dose. In case you lose the dose, load the Flovent diskus again with another dose, to inhale the medication.
- Flovent diskus usually comes with a built-in counter to indicate the number of doses left. The counter automatically adjusts to the number of doses left in the diskus, every time the diskus is used.
- Keep a watch on these numbers to order for a timely refill, as the number draws closer to zero.
