Qvar Easi-Breathe Inhaler (50mcg, 100mcg)

Qvar Easi-Breathe Inhaler works deep in your lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the airways. This type of medicine is known as a preventer. It needs to be taken regularly every day, even if you have no symptoms. You can buy your Qvar inhaler online so you can always be prepared.

Qvar Easi-Breathe inhaler has a softer feel and a different taste than other inhalers you may have used before. Qvar inhaler has an extra-fine aerosol which results in more of each dose being delivered to your lungs. Your doctor/pharmacist may, therefore, prescribe a lower dose of this inhaler than your previously used inhaler.

Do not take more puffs than your doctor has told you to. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure before you buy a Qvar inhaler.

Talk to your doctor before taking Qvar Easi-Breathe inhaler if:

• you are suffering from tuberculosis (TB) now or have suffered from it in the past.

• your asthma seems to be getting worse. Perhaps you are more wheezy and short of breath than usual, your reliever inhaler seems to be less effective, you require more puffs from your reliever inhaler than usual, or you do not seem to be getting better. Your doctor may need to increase the dose of your steroid inhaler or give you a course of steroid tablets, or change your treatment altogether. If you have an infection in your chest your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics.
• When transferring from steroid tablets to an inhaler you find that, even if your chest is getting better, you feel generally unwell, you develop a rash, eczema, or a runny nose and sneezing (rhinitis). Do not stop treatment with your inhaler unless your doctor tells you to.
