Description

Alvesco Inhaler for Asthma & Breathing Problems

Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are breathing conditions that primarily affect the lungs and can cause a range of breathing difficulties. Asthma often occurs after exposure to a trigger, however, it can happen randomly. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.

Alvesco is an aerosol spray that reduces the inflammation of the lungs and the associated airways and thus makes your breathing easier. This is a preventer medication used to treat persistent asthma and should be taken every day.

However, it is not a rescue inhaler and must be used regularly to protect against severe asthma attacks.

Alvesco Asthma Inhaler

What is Alvesco?

Alvesco is a brand name for the generic medication ciclesonide. Ciclesonide is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid, or more simply, a steroid. Steroids like ciclesonide have potent anti-inflammatory effects. When inhaled directly into the lungs, they reduce the inflammation and irritation in the airways that triggers an asthma attack. It's important to note that Alvesco is not intended for immediate relief of acute asthma symptoms, but rather for long-term control and prevention of these symptoms.

How Does Alvesco Work?

Alvesco works by reducing inflammation in the lungs. The active ingredient, ciclesonide, is a corticosteroid. When a user inhales the medicine, it's delivered directly to the lining of the airways where it reduces the release of the substances that cause inflammation. Doing so leads to less swelling and irritation in the airways, making it easier for a person to breathe and helping to prevent asthma attacks. It's essential to use Alvesco regularly, even if one doesn't have symptoms, because the inflammation in the lungs returns if they stop taking it.

Is Alvesco a Steroid Inhaler?

Yes, Alvesco is a steroid inhaler. Its active ingredient is ciclesonide, which is a corticosteroid. These medicines are highly effective at reducing inflammation in the airways, which is a key cause of asthma symptoms. However, like all steroids, they have potential side effects, especially if used in high doses or for a long time, so they must always be used exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Alvesco Dosage & Usage

How do I use Alvesco?

Alvesco is usually taken as one or two puffs from the inhaler once or twice a day, as directed by a doctor. It's important to use the medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. It is important to understand exactly how to use the inhaler properly and clean it regularly to prevent blockages.

Alvesco Dosage

Alvesco comes in different strengths, typically 80 mcg and 160 mcg. The appropriate dosage is determined by a healthcare provider based on symptoms, the severity of asthma, and the user's response to treatment.

Alvesco Availability & Pricing

How do I buy Alvesco online?

Alvesco is a prescription medication and must only be purchased from a trusted and registered online pharmacy. An individual needs a valid prescription from a healthcare professional to buy it.

Alvesco Side Effects & Considerations

Side Effects & Precautions

Like all medications, Alvesco is able to cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headaches, sore throat, and nosebleeds. More serious side effects are rare but include allergic reactions, changes in vision, and unusual tiredness or weakness. Always discuss potential side effects and precautions with a healthcare provider before starting a new medication.

Alvesco Alternatives & Related Treatments

What Inhaler is Equivalent to Alvesco?

Several other steroid inhalers are available that are used in the treatment of asthma. These include fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), and mometasone (Asmanex). A healthcare provider is able to help a person choose the most suitable medication based on their symptoms.

Alvesco Alternatives & Related Treatments

Alvesco FAQs

Is Alvesco a Preventer?

Trimethoprim is commonly prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, a prevalent health issue affecting the urinary system. This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, notably those affecting the urinary and respiratory tracts. Trimethoprim works by targeting and inhibiting a substance called folic acid, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By disrupting the production of folic acid, Trimethoprim hinders the development of bacteria, thereby helping to clear infections.

While it's primarily known for its effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, it's also used for certain types of respiratory tract infections. However, like any medication, the safety of Trimethoprim for an individual depends on various factors including their overall health, other medications they may be taking, and their specific medical history. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Trimethoprim is a safe and appropriate treatment option.

Are there any foods that should be avoided when taking Alvesco Inhaler?

We recommend you read the patient information leaflet for this product thoroughly before taking the treatment. This is essential to understanding any interactions that can occur and to take the medication safely.

Additional Information on Trimethoprim 200mg

Trimethoprim 200mg, the usual dose, is a potent antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those related to urinary infections such as cystitis. This medication operates by inhibiting the bacterial production of a vital substance, folic acid, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.

While it is highly effective in managing urinary tract infections, it's essential to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with severe liver problems, or blood disorders, should consult their healthcare provider before using Trimethoprim, as it may not be the safest option for them. Additionally, it's a common misconception that cranberry juice can treat urine infections; however, while it may help alleviate cystitis symptoms by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls, it should not replace medical treatment with antibiotics like Trimethoprim.

As with any antibiotic, it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to effectively treat bacterial infections and prevent antibiotic resistance.

Can I stop using the Alvesco inhaler anytime?

If you find no relief or the symptoms are worsening, you need to consult the doctor before going to discontinue it. Do not discontinue it immediately by yourself.

Do I need to shake the Alvesco inhaler before use?

There is no need to shake the aerosol before using it. You, however, need to ensure that the unit canister is placed firmly inside the mouthpiece before every use.

Is Alvesco a bronchodilator?

No. Keep in mind that Alvesco is not an emergency treatment for asthma. It is not a bronchodilator and doesn't work to relieve acute symptoms of asthma.

Which foods do I need to avoid while using the Alvesco inhaler?

It doesn't interact with the foods. However, asthma is an allergic reaction to allergens. Some foods that can cause allergy, e.g., dry fruits, packaged potatoes, lemon juice, pickled foods, eggs, beer and wine etc., should be avoided while on any antiallergic therapy.

How long does the drug from the Alvesco inhaler stay inside the body?

The inhaled steroids have a half-life of a few hours. However, complete clearance from the body takes more than 12 hours.

Does Alvesco disturb the blood pressure?

Although rare, high blood pressure is one of the side effects of inhaled corticosteroids. So, you need to monitor closely and report to the healthcare provider if any symptoms of hypertension appear.
