What is Tilade Inhaler used for?
Tilade CFC free Inhaler (Nedocromil inhalation) is a medication used to prevent asthma attacks (bronchospasm) caused by inflamed lung tissue and treat the symptoms of asthma. This is used in the treatment of mild to moderate asthma. The effect of Tilade did not work quickly enough to provide relief for an asthma attack in progress. Patients with asthma should carry a fast acting inhaler. If you find you rely on your rescue inhaler too frequently, advise your doctor and see if your treatment plan needs adjustment. Do not share this medication with friends and family that have similar symptoms. This may not be effective and may increase the risk of adverse side effects. This is used for patients six years of age or older.

How to use Tilade Inhaler?
When prescribing this, your doctor will likely explain how to use this medication and may even demonstrate how to use it. Tilade Inhaler also comes with a drug information leaflet with the manufacturer's packaging. If anything is unclear, call your doctor or pharmacist as proper use of the inhaler will provide the maximum benefit. The inhaler needs to be primed before your first use or if it is not used in three days. To prime, shake the inhaler and release three actuations.
Make sure the metal canister is fully attached to the device. Hold your breath for 10 seconds when you take your dose. If you happen to miss a dose, take it when you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, simply disregard the missed dose and take your regular dose on schedule. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed one as this will not accelerate treatment and result in more frequent or severe side effects.
