Question 1

How long does it take for Clenil Modulite to work?

Accepted Answer

Clenil Modulite takes a few days to start working effectively. It's very important to use it regularly as prescribed, even if you feel better. Do not stop treatment unless advised by your doctor.

Question 2

Can I use Clenil Modulite during an asthma attack?

Accepted Answer

No, Clenil Modulite is not for immediate relief of asthma attacks. It is a preventer inhaler for regular use to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. During an asthma attack, use your quick-acting reliever inhaler instead.

Question 3

What should I do if I see 'mist' coming from my inhaler?

Accepted Answer

If you see mist coming from the top of the inhaler or the sides of your mouth, the medication may not be reaching your lungs properly. Take another puff, carefully following the administration instructions from step 2 onwards.

Question 4

Why do I need to rinse my mouth after using Clenil Modulite?

Accepted Answer

Rinsing your mouth after use helps prevent oral thrush (candidiasis), which is a common side effect of inhaled corticosteroids. Thrush appears as white patches in the mouth and can cause discomfort.

Question 5

Can children use Clenil Modulite?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children can use Clenil Modulite, but only the 50 and 100 microgram strengths. Clenil Modulite 200 and 250 are not suitable for children. A Volumatic spacer should always be used with children, and growth should be regularly monitored.

Question 6

What is the difference between Clenil Modulite and a reliever inhaler?

Accepted Answer

Clenil Modulite is a preventer inhaler used regularly to reduce inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. A reliever inhaler (like salbutamol) is used for immediate relief during an asthma attack. They work differently and serve different purposes in asthma management.

Question 7

Can I use Clenil Modulite if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice before using Clenil Modulite. The benefits of treating asthma need to be weighed against potential risks to the baby.

Question 8

How do I know when my Clenil Modulite inhaler is empty?

Accepted Answer

Your Clenil Modulite inhaler has a dose indicator on the back that shows how many puffs remain. When the indicator shows 20 doses left, you should request a new inhaler. When '0' appears in the window, discard the inhaler even if it seems to have content remaining.

Question 9

What should I do if I forget to take my dose?

Accepted Answer

If you forget a dose, skip it and take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one.

Question 10

Can I use Clenil Modulite with other asthma medications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Clenil Modulite is often used alongside reliever inhalers. However, always inform your doctor about all medications you're taking, as some drugs (like certain HIV medications) may interact with Clenil Modulite.
