Uses of Asmanex

Asmanex contains mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid medicine. Mometasone furoate prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Asmanex is used to prevent asthma attacks. Will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun.

Precautions and Warnings

Do not use Asmanex as a rescue medicine for asthma attacks. It will not work fast enough. Use only fast-acting inhalation medicine for an attack.

eek medical attention if your breathing problems get worse quickly, or if you think your asthma medications are not working as well. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.

Before taking this medicine

You should not use Asmanex if you are allergic to mometasone, or to milk proteins.

To make sure Asmanex is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • liver disease;
  • herpes infection of the eyes;
  • glaucoma, cataracts, or other vision problems;
  • low bone mineral density, osteoporosis; or
  • any illness or infection, including tuberculosis.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant. It is not known whether mometasone will harm an unborn baby. However, having untreated or uncontrolled asthma during pregnancy may cause complications such as low birth weight, premature birth, or eclampsia (dangerously high blood pressure that can lead to medical problems in both mother and baby). The benefit of treating asthma may outweigh any risks to the baby.

It may not be safe to breastfeed while using Asmanex. Ask your doctor about any risk.

Do not give Asmanex to a child younger than 4 years old.

Long-term use of steroids may lead to bone loss (osteoporosis), especially if you smoke, if you do not exercise, if you do not get enough vitamin D or calcium in your diet, or if you have a family history of osteoporosis. Talk with your doctor about your risk of osteoporosis.
