It may also have other uses.
Additional information
Oxeze Turbuhaler (Formoterol) is typically inhaled every 12 hours. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often, than prescribed. If you forget a dose, contact your pharmacist. WARNING: If used alone without corticosteroids (steroids used in the treatment of asthma), Oxeze Turbuhaler (Formoterol) may cause death due to severe asthma symptoms (a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus). Do not stop using corticosteroid medications when you are prescribed formoterol. Occasionally, inhaled medications such as Oxeze may cause the airways to spasm and close up, making breathing even more difficulty (bronchospasm) and can be life-threatening.
