DULERA may cause serious side effects.
If you are switching to DULERA from an oral corticosteroid, follow your healthcare provider’s instructions to avoid serious health risks when you stop using oral corticosteroids.
The most common reported side effects of DULERA include inflammation of the nose and throat, inflammation of the sinuses, headache, flu, and upper respiratory infection.
These are not all the side effects of DULERA. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information.
DULERA contains formoterol. LABA medicines such as formoterol when used alone increase the risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems. DULERA contains an ICS and a LABA. When an ICS and LABA are used together, there is not a significant increased risk in hospitalizations and death from asthma problems.
Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.
DULERA does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden asthma symptoms. Always have a rescue inhaler medicine with you to treat sudden symptoms.
Do not use DULERA more often than prescribed. Do not take DULERA with other medicines that contain a LABA for any reason, as using too much LABA may cause chest pain, increase or decrease in blood pressure, fast and irregular heartbeat, headache, tremor, nervousness, dizziness, weakness, seizures, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, or death. Tell your doctor about medicines you take and about all of your medical conditions.
