Tips

• Vilor F Capsule will not work for an ongoing asthma attack. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
• Learn the correct technique of using metered dose inhalers (MDI) and dry powder inhalers (DPI) to ensure that the right amount of medication reaches your lungs and side effects are minimized.
• Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
• Take it at the same time every day to prevent asthma attacks.
• Do not open and close the cover unnecessarily as you will lose the medicine.
• Never breathe out into the mouthpiece.
• Only minuscule amounts of Vilor F Capsule may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence serious side effects such as weight gain are unlikely.
