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.
