Maxiflo 250 Inhaler is a versatile medication, used for managing the following health conditions:

Long-term control and prevention of asthma symptoms in adults and children aged 12 years and above.
Managing reversible obstructive airway disease.

Follow these steps to use Maxiflo 250 Inhaler properly:

Before using the inhaler for the first time, prime it by releasing four test sprays into the air, away from your face.
If the inhaler has not been used for more than seven days or has been dropped, prime it again.
Shake the inhaler well before each use.
Exhale fully before placing the mouthpiece in your mouth.
Inhale deeply and steadily while pressing down on the inhaler to release the medication.
After using, rinse your mouth with water but do not swallow.

Make sure to consult your doctor for specific instructions based on your condition.

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler is administered via an inhalation route.

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Throat irritation or pain
Hoarseness or voice changes: This condition might alter your usual voice quality.
Oral thrush: This refers to a fungal infection in your mouth or throat.
Nausea or vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Maxiflo 250 Inhaler. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea or vomiting: Try taking Maxiflo 250 Inhaler after15-20 minutes of having food to lessen this effect.
Throat irritation or pain: Drinking water after using Maxiflo 250 Inhaler might help soothe a sore throat.

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler consists of two active ingredients:

Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg): As an inhaled corticosteroid, fluticasone propionate works by suppressing the release of substances that cause inflammation in the body. By doing so, it reduces swelling, mucus production, and sensitivity in the airways, which makes breathing easier.
Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): This is a long-acting beta 2-adrenergic agonist that works on the beta 2-receptors present in the lungs. When these receptors are stimulated, the muscles around the airways relax and widen, leading to improved airflow and making it easier to breathe.

This dual action provides effective long-term control of asthma symptoms and improves lung function.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Maxiflo 250 Inhaler if you are pregnant or planning to conceive. It is best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is recommended to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor prior to using Maxiflo 250 Inhaler.

Alcohol

The interaction of Maxiflo 250 Inhaler with alcohol has not been studied extensively. Please consult your doctor for advice on this matter.

Liver

If you have a history of liver problems, it would be wise to discuss these issues with your doctor before starting Maxiflo 250 Inhaler. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

Those with a history of kidney health issues should exercise caution before using Maxiflo 250 Inhaler. Consultation with your doctor is advisable before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler does not usually affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if you experience side effects such as dizziness or blurred vision, avoid these activities and seek medical advice.

Allergy

Avoid using Maxiflo 250 Inhaler if you have a known allergy to fluticasone propionate or formoterol fumarate, the active ingredients, or any other components in the inhaler.

Children

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler is intended for use in children aged 12 years and above under paediatrician guidance. It's advised to consult a doctor before giving this medicine to children below this age group.

Older Patients

Drug-Drug Interactions

Maxiflo 250 Inhaler interacts with the following medicines:

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medicines like ritonavir and ketoconazole can increase the levels of fluticasone propionate, leading to potential side effects.
Beta-blockers: Medicines such as propranolol and atenolol may reduce the effectiveness of formoterol fumarate in Maxiflo 250 Inhaler.
Diuretics: These medications, for instance furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide, may intensify the possible hypokalaemic effect of formoterol fumarate.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or tricyclic antidepressants: These medicines could potentially enhance the effect on the cardiovascular system.

Drug-Food Interactions

Consuming certain foods or beverages while using Maxiflo 250 Inhaler does not affect its effectiveness. There are no known specific interactions with food.

Cardiovascular disorders: Maxiflo 250 Inhaler should be used with caution in patients with these conditions as formoterol fumarate can affect heart rate and blood pressure.
Convulsive disorders: The stimulant effect of formoterol fumarate might influence seizure control in patients with convulsive disorders.
Thyrotoxicosis: Overactive thyroid can make individuals more sensitive to the effects of formoterol fumarate.
Diabetes Mellitus: Fluticasone propionate may cause an increase in blood sugar levels.
Ketoacidosis: Inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone propionate can alter glucose metabolism, affecting control of ketoacidosis.

Daily Dose

Remember to administer Maxiflo 250 Inhaler as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage might vary depending on individual factors like the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It's crucial that you stick to your prescribed dosage and not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

In case you accidentally use more than the prescribed dose of Maxiflo 250 Inhaler, you might experience common side effects like nausea or headaches. If these symptoms persist or get worse, it's important to inform your doctor.
