Quick tips

Zovair Capsule

  • Zovair Octacap Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of asthma and COPD.
  • It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
  • You might experience dryness in the mouth. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
  • Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
  • Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after use.
  • Avoid smoking as it irritates the lungs and will make your condition worse.
  • If you have diabetes you may need to check your blood glucose more frequently, as Zovair Octacap Capsule may affect the levels of sugar in your blood. Your doctor will advise you about this.
