    To use the Aerocort Inhaler effectively for asthma, start by shaking the inhaler well to mix the medication. Before inhaling, exhale completely to empty your lungs. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth, ensuring your tongue is out of the way, and take a deep breath in while simultaneously pressing down on the inhaler to release one puff of medication. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds to allow the medication to reach deep into your lungs, then exhale slowly. If your doctor has prescribed multiple puffs, wait about one minute before the next inhalation.

    It is crucial to use the Aerocort Inhaler daily as prescribed, even if you feel well, since it helps manage inflammation and prevents asthma symptoms. This inhaler is not intended for immediate relief of sudden asthma attacks; for such situations, keep a fast-acting “rescue” inhaler on hand. After using the Aerocort Inhaler, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to prevent oral thrush, a common side effect associated with inhaled corticosteroids. Always consult your doctor if you experience any adverse effects or if your symptoms worsen.
