CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET
Please

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

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.
