WHAT ASTHAKAST IS USED FOR
ASTHAKAST is used to prevent asthma symptoms, including those that
occur during the day
and at night-time. It also prevents the narrowing of airways triggered
by exercise. If you have

allergic rhinitis
symptoms. It can be used in children 2 years of age and older,
teenagers and adults.
ASTHAKAST tablets are not used to treat an acute attack of asthma. If
an acute attack occurs,
follow
your
doctor's
instructions
for
your
reliever
medicine,
and
keep
taking
your
ASTHAKAST each night or as prescribed.
As a preventive medicine for asthma, ASTHAKAST can be used alone or in
combination with
other preventive medicines, such as inhaled corticosteroids. Your
doctor may reduce your dose
of inhaled corticosteroid while you are taking ASTHAKAST .

narrowed airways causing breathing to become difficult
•
inflamed airways, which means the lining of airways become swollen
•
sensitive airways that react to many things, such as cigarette smoke,
pollen, or cold air.
Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing and chest tightness. Not
all people with
asthma wheeze. For some, coughing may be the only symptom of asthma.

occur during the night or after exercise.
