Maxair Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Pirbuterol
Maxair Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Pirbuterol
INDICATIONS
MAXAIR AUTOHALER is indicated for the prevention
and reversal of bronchospasm
in patients 12 years of age
and older with reversible
bronchospasm including
asthma. It may be used with or without concurrent theophylline
and/or corticosteroid therapy.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The usual dose for adults
and children 12 years and older is two inhalations (400 mcg) repeated
every 4-6 hours. One inhalation
(200 mcg) repeated every 4-6 hours may be sufficient for some patients.
A total daily dose of 12
inhalations should not be exceeded. If a previously effective dosage
regimen fails to provide the usual relief, medical
advice should be sought immediately as this is often a sign
of seriously worsening asthma
which would require reassessment of therapy.

MAXAIR AUTOHALER, box of one, is supplied in a pressurized aluminum
canister with a light
blue plastic
breath-activated actuator
and a light blue mouthpiece cover. DO NOT USE WITH OTHER CANISTERS
OR MOUTHPIECES. Each actuation
delivers 253 mcg of pirbuterol
(as pirbuterol acetate) from the valve
and 200 mcg of pirbuterol
(as pirbuterol acetate) from the mouthpiece.
