Qvar Inhl Notes

Do not share this medication with others.

Learn to use a peak flow meter, use it daily, and promptly report worsening asthma (such as readings in the yellow/red range or increased use of quick-relief inhalers).

Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., morning cortisol levels) may be performed to monitor your progress and check for side effects.

Avoid allergens (e.g., pollen), irritants, smoking/secondhand smoke, and other factors that make asthma worse.

Most people with asthma or ongoing lung disease should receive a flu shot annually. Discuss with your doctor.
