Derinide 200 Inhaler 200mdi is primarily used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids.
This medicine helps prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath by controlling the inflammation in your lungs. It acts as a "preventer" medication rather than providing immediate relief during acute asthma attacks, meaning it works gradually to reduce the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms over time.
Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage based on your specific condition and needs. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medications you are currently taking. If you experience any side effects whilst using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue using the inhaler regularly as prescribed, even when you are not experiencing symptoms.
