What If I Overdose on Maxair?
People who take too much Maxair may have overdose symptoms that could include:
- Chest pain (angina)
- High blood pressure (hypertension) or low blood pressure (hypotension)
- A fast heart rate (tachycardia)
- Nervousness
- Headaches
- Shakiness (tremors)
- Dry mouth
- Feelings of a rapidly or forcefully beating heart (heart palpitations)
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Seizures
- Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Fatigue
- Low potassium in the blood (hypokalemia)
- Cardiac arrest
- Loss of life.
If you happen to take too much, seek immediate medical attention.
Maxair should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. You should have an inhaler available at all times, especially if you have severe
asthma attacks. Your inhaler should be cleaned regularly; refer to the information that came with it for detailed instructions about how to clear the inhaler.
Keep Maxair and all other medications out of the reach of children.
What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?
If you do not take your Maxair as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. Make sure, however, not to take your doses more closely together than every four hours (unless absolutely necessary to control an attack).
