Selection of the dose of active substances that make up the drug Formisonide®-native, is carried out individually and depending on the severity of the disease. This need to be taken into account not only at the beginning of treatment with combined preparations, but also when the dose of the drug is changed.
Bronchial asthma
Formisonide®-native It is not intended for the initial treatment of bronchial asthma of intermittent and mild persistent treatment.
In the event that individual patients require a different combination of doses of active substances than in the preparation Formisonide®-Nashv, should be assigned separately to β2- adrenomimetics and / or GCS in separate inhalers.
Patients should visit the doctor regularly to monitor the optimal dose of the drug Formisonide®-native. The dose should be reduced to the lowest, against which the optimal control of symptoms of bronchial asthma remains. After achieving bronchial asthma control when taking the drug 2 times a day, it is recommended to titrate the dose to the minimum effective, up to reception 1 inhalations per day, in cases where, in the opinion of the physician, the patient needs supportive therapy in combination with a long-acting bronchodilator. At the next stage, when complete control is achieved, it is possible to try the appointment of monotherapy with inhaled glucocorticosteroids.
There are two approaches to the appointment of therapy of bronchial asthma with the drug Formisonide®-native:
A. As maintenance therapy: Formisonide®-native is prescribed for continuous maintenance therapy in combination with a single β2short-acting adrenomimetic for relief of attacks;
B. As maintenance therapy and for relief of seizures: Formisonide®-native is prescribed for both constant maintenance therapy, and on demand when symptoms appear.
As maintenance therapy: appoint in combination with a separate β2-adrenomimetikom short-acting for relief of attacks. The patient should always have a separate inhaler with him β2-adrenomimetikom short-acting for relief of attacks.
Formmisone®-native 80 μg + 4.5 μg and 160 μg + 4.5 μg
The drug is prescribed for 1-2 inhalations 2 times a day. If necessary, it is possible to increase the dose to 4 inhalations 2 times a day.
Formmisone®-native 320 μg + 9 μg
The drug is prescribed for 1 inhalation 2 times a day. If necessary, an increase in the dose up to 2 inhalations 2 times a day.
Increased frequency of application 02-adrenomimetics of short action is an indicator of the deterioration of general control over the disease and requires revision of anti-asthmatic therapy.
As maintenance therapy and for the relief of attacks the drug is especially indicated for patients with insufficient control of bronchial asthma and the need for frequent use of drugs to stop seizures; with indications in an anamnesis of exacerbations of bronchial asthma requiring medical intervention. The patient must be kept with him at all times Formisonide®-native for relief of attacks.
It is necessary to carefully monitor the occurrence of dose-dependent side effects in patients who use a large number of inhalations to stop seizures.
Formmisone®-native 80 μg + 4.5 μg and 160 μg + 4.5 μg
The recommended dose is 2 inhalations per day: 1 inhalation in the morning and in the evening, or 2 inhalations once a day only in the morning or only in the evening. Some patients may receive a maintenance dose of the drug Formisonide®-native 160 mcg + 4.5 mcg 2 inhalations 2 times a day. If symptoms of bronchial asthma occur, 1 additional inhalation is necessary. With a further increase in symptoms within a few minutes, another 1 additional inhalation is prescribed, but no more than 6 inhalations for stopping 1 attack.
Usually, no more than 8 inhalations per day are required, but you can increase the number of inhalations to 12 per day for a short time. In patients who use more than 8 inhalations per day, a review of therapy is recommended.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Formmisone®-native 160 μg + 4.5 μg
Recommended dose: 2 inhalations 2 times a day.
Formmisone®-native 320 μg + 9 μg
Recommended dose: 1 inhalation 2 times a day.
Special patient groups
No data on drug use Formisonide®-native patients with hepatic insufficiency.
As budesonide and formoterol are derived mainly by the kidneys with the participation of hepatic metabolism, then in patients with severe cirrhosis of the liver, a slowing down of the drug release rate can be expected.
There is no need for a special dose selection for elderly patients.
