Indications & Uses
Dulamet is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Mometasone furoate is an inhaled corticosteroid, or ICS for short. Inhaled corticosteroids help decrease inflammation in the lungs, and inflammation in the lungs can lead to breathing problems.
Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta-2 agonist, or LABA for short. LABA medicines help the muscles around the airways of the lungs stay relaxed, which prevents asthma symptoms such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten, and that makes it hard to breathe.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older take 2 inhalations twice daily, using either the 200 HFA inhaler or the 100 HFA inhaler. When you pick the starting strength, think about how severe the patient's asthma is. This depends on their previous asthma treatment, including the dose of inhaled corticosteroid they were on, and also on how well their asthma symptoms are controlled now and their risk of future exacerbation.
The maximum recommended dose is two inhalations of the 200 HFA inhaler twice daily (maximum daily dosage 800 mcg/20 mcg).
After each dose of 2 puffs, rinse your mouth with water. Spit the water out and don't swallow it. This helps prevent thrush in your mouth or throat.
