for

medicine,
and

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 .
