Alvesco (active ingredient: ciclesonide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Asthma: Alvesco is used for the maintenance treatment of asthma as prophylactic therapy in adults and children aged 12 years and older.

Alvesco belongs to a class of drugs known as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which helps to prevent asthma symptoms and asthma attacks.

Alvesco is an inhaler medication that should be inhaled through the mouth as directed by your healthcare provider. There is no need to shake the inhaler before use. If the inhaler is new or has not been used for 1 week or more, it should be primed by spraying 3 puffs into the air. To use, remove the cover on the mouthpiece and breathe out as much as you comfortably can. Then, place the mouthpiece into your mouth and close your lips tightly around it. While breathing in slowly and deeply, press down on the canister with your finger. After inhaling, try to hold your breath for at least 10 seconds to allow the medication to work properly.

The recommended starting dose of Alvesco Inhaler is 80 mcg (1 oral inhalation of 80 mcg/actuation) twice daily for adults and children aged 12 years and older. The maximum recommended dosage is 320 mcg of Alvesco twice daily. The dose may vary depending on individual patient response and should be prescribed by a healthcare provider.

How to Order

How much Alvesco can I order at once from a Canadian pharmacy?

When ordering Alvesco (ciclesonide) from a Canadian pharmacy, you can typically purchase up to a 90-day supply at one time, which is standard for prescription medications to ensure continuous management of chronic conditions without frequent refills.

Here’s what you need to know:

Dosage and Quantity: Alvesco is available in different strengths, commonly 80 micrograms and 160 micrograms per inhalation. The typical prescribed regimen often involves twice-daily inhalation.

For example: If you are prescribed Alvesco 160 micrograms strength and instructed to take 2 inhalations twice daily, you would require 4 inhalations per day. For a 90-day supply, this would amount to 360 inhalations (4 inhalations/day x 90 days). Depending on how many puffs are in each canister, you would order enough inhalers to cover this period.
