1 MEDICAL AIR (Air, Ph. Eur. 100%) CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET Please read this leaflet carefully before you receive this treatment. It provides a summary of the information known about your treatment. If you have any questions or are unsure about anything, ask your doctor. Remember, this treatment is for you. It may harm someone else if they receive it even if their symptoms appear to be the same as yours. So do not give this treatment to anybody else. Keep this leaflet. You may wish to refer to it again. WHAT MEDICAL AIR IS USED FOR Medical Air is used as a replacement for the normal air you breathe in (atmospheric air). It is used when the atmospheric air has been contaminated by fumes, vapours or gases which may irritate you or are dangerous to your health when breathed in. In ventilators and incubators, it provides clean and controlled air flow. Medical Air is also used as a carrier gas for volatile anaesthetics during surgery. BEFORE YOU TAKE MEDICAL AIR If you are not sure if you should be taking Medical Air, talk to your doctor. There are no special circumstances which would stop you taking Medical Air. Remember, air supports combustion, so there should be no smoking or any naked lights when Medical Air is in use. Medical Air does not interact with any other types of medicine you may be taking and will not be affected by any food or drink. Treatment with Medical Air on its own will not affect your ability to drive. HOW TO TAKE MEDICAL AIR Your doctor, or nurse, will decide how much Medical Air you need and how it is taken. _WHAT TO DO IF YOU TAKE TOO MUCH_ As Medical Air is the same as the atmospheric air you breathe in normally, you cannot take too much. WHILE YOU ARE TAKING MEDICAL AIR Be sure to keep all of your appointments with your doctor so that your progress can be checked. SIDE EFFECTS There are no side effects after taking Medical Air. However, tell your doctor as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Medical Air. AFTER TAKING MEDICAL AIR Medical Lees het volledige document
