Special Precautions
Aroflo HFA inhaler should not be used to treat acute asthma symptoms for which a fast and short-acting bronchodilator is required. Aroflo HFA inhaler should not be stopped abruptly. It should be administered with caution in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Aroflo HFA inhaler should be used with caution in patients with severe cardiovascular disorders, heart rhythm abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis, uncorrected hypokalemia or patients predisposed to low levels of serum potassium.
Systemic effects may occur with any inhaled corticosteroid, particularly at high doses prescribed for long periods. These effects are much less likely to occur than with oral corticosteroids. It is important, therefore, that the patient is reviewed regularly and the dose of inhaled corticosteroid is reduced to the lowest dose at which effective control of asthma is maintained.
Renal Impairment: There is no need to adjust the dose in patients with renal impairment.
Hepatic Impairment: There are no data available for use of Aroflo HFA inhaler in patients with hepatic impairment.
Use in pregnancy: There are insufficient data on the use of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate during pregnancy. Administration of drugs to pregnant women should only be considered if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the fetus.
Use in lactation: There are no data available for human breast milk. Administration of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate to women who are breastfeeding should only be considered if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the child.
Use in the elderly: There is no need to adjust the dose in elderly patients.
