Vilor F Powder for Inhalation

Composition: Fluticasone furoate (steroid) + Vilanterol (long-acting bronchodilator)
Use:

• Treats asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

• Prevents symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

Key Points:

✔ Not for sudden asthma attacks (use a quick-relief inhaler instead).
✔ Must be used regularly, even if asymptomatic.
✔ Full benefits may take weeks (though some effects appear sooner).
✔ Proper inhaler technique is crucial—rinse mouth after use to avoid oral thrush.

Common Side Effects:

• Throat/nose irritation, headache, cough, fungal mouth infections.

• Upper respiratory infections, back pain, fever.

Safety Advice:

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult doctor.

• Alcohol: No known interaction, but consult doctor.

• Kidney/Liver Disease: Dose adjustment may be needed.

• Driving: Safe (no significant drowsiness).

If You Miss a Dose:

• Take ASAP, but skip if close to next dose. Never double dose.

How It Works:

• Fluticasone: Reduces airway inflammation.

• Vilanterol: Relaxes lung muscles to ease breathing.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and avoid asthma triggers (e.g., smoke). Report worsening symptoms or unusual side effects.
