Asmanex generically known as Mometasone Furoate is a prescription medication used to control and prevent symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. Asmanex works by reducing inflammation in the airways and lungs, which improves asthma symptoms and decreases the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.

Asmanex Powder Inhaler can be used as a long-acting inhaler to function as a prophylactic treatment and is not intended to mitigate the symptoms of asthma attacks. Consistent, long-term use of this medication is required to manage asthma symptoms effectively.

  4. Remove the inhaler from your mouth, hold your breath for 10 seconds or as long as possible, and then breathe out slowly.
  5. Close the inhaler by twisting the cap back to its original position, clockwise until it clicks.
  6. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after every use to prevent possible fungal infections.
