Research Notes on Foradil Dosage
The dosage of Foradil that will be prescribed to you will be based on your personal medical history. Typically, the dosage of Foradil prescribed for the treatment of COPD or asthma is one capsule, which is inhaled twice a day at 12 hour intervals. Should your treatment be for exercise induced asthma, it is recommended that you take one inhalation about 15 minutes before you exercise. It is important that you do not administer more Foradil than you are prescribed, but rather use it exactly as directed.1
Fast Facts:
- Foradil is prescribed in a capsule form, and should only be used with the appropriate inhaler. Do not ever open the capsule and swallow the medication.2
- Foradil is used to prevent asthma attacks, and will not be effective in treating an attack that has already begun.2
- Do not use the Foradil inhaler with a spacer.2
- Foradil is a brand name for the generic formoterol.
