Inhalador de ciclesonida

About ciclesonide inhaler

Inhalers are the main treatment for asma. El medicamento dentro del inhalador va directamente a tus vías respiratorias cuando inhalas. Esto significa que tus vías respiratorias y pulmones son tratados, pero poco del medicamento llega al resto de tu cuerpo.

Ciclesonide is a preventer inhaler. You must use it regularly every day to prevent your symptoms from developing. Steroids like ciclesonide work by reducing the inflammation in your airways. When the inflammation has gone, your airways are much less likely to become narrow and cause symptoms such as wheezing.

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start using a ciclesonide inhaler it is important that your doctor knows:

• Si estás embarazada, intentando tener un bebé o amamantando. Esto se debe a que es particularmente importante que tu asma esté bien controlada si estás esperando un bebé, y tu médico querrá aconsejarte sobre tu cuidado.

• Si alguna vez has tenido tuberculosis pulmonar (TB).

• Si está tomando o usando otros medicamentos. Esto incluye cualquier medicamento que esté tomando y que esté disponible para comprar sin receta, así como medicamentos herbales y complementarios.

• Si alguna vez has tenido una reacción alérgica a un medicamento.

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack and any additional information you are given. These will give you more information about ciclesonide, and will also provide you with a full list of side-effects which you could experience from using the inhaler.

• Use the inhaler once daily, preferably in the evening, unless you are told otherwise by your doctor. Your doctor will tell you how many puffs you should use each time. Try to use it at the same time each day, as this will help you to remember to use it regularly. Make sure you know how to use the inhaler properly. If you are not sure, ask your nurse, doctor or pharmacist to show you.

• Some people using steroid inhalers find that the back of their throats can become sore. If you rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth after using your inhaler, this is less likely to develop.

• Your doctor may give you a spacer device to use, particularly if you struggle to co-ordinate breathing in and pressing the inhaler device. This helps to make sure that the medicine travels right into your lungs. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advise you on using the device.
  

• Ciclesonide is a preventer inhaler which needs to be used regularly in order to have an effect. It takes a few days for the steroid in the inhaler to build up its effect. Preventer inhalers like ciclesonide do not give you immediate relief if you are having an asthma attack - you will need to use a reliever inhaler to ease the symptoms of an attack.

• Si después de usar el inhalador por primera vez su respiración empeora o de repente comienza a jadear, por favor informe a su médico de inmediato. Su médico querrá cambiar el tipo de inhalador por uno más adecuado para usted.

• Es útil recordar el color de tu inhalador y el nombre de la marca. Esto podría ser importante si necesitas ver a un médico que no tiene tus registros médicos (como si estás de vacaciones o si es fuera del horario normal de apertura de la consulta de tu médico de cabecera).

• Mantén tus citas regulares con tu médico y la clínica de asma. Esto es para que tu médico pueda revisar tu tratamiento. Si en algún momento notas que tus síntomas de asma están empeorando o que necesitas usar un inhalador de alivio con más regularidad, contacta a tu médico o enfermera para obtener asesoramiento de inmediato.

• Continue to use your ciclesonide inhaler regularly. Do not stop using it abruptly, as this can make you feel unwell and cause your symptoms to return suddenly.

• No fume. Fumar puede causar irritación severa y daño a sus pulmones. Empeorará su condición y reducirá los efectos beneficiosos de sus inhaladores.

Along with their useful effects, inhalers like most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the ones associated with ciclesonide. You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with your inhaler. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.

Si experimenta otros síntomas que cree que pueden deberse al inhalador, hable con su médico o farmacéutico para obtener más consejos.

• Mantenga todos los medicamentos fuera del alcance y la vista de los niños.

• Almacenar en un lugar fresco y seco, lejos del calor y la luz directos.
