The use of Asmanex Twisthaler 120 Dose inhaler is easier as it does not require any form of coordination unlike in metered dose inhalers. Proper use includes the following steps:

1. Preparation of the Inhaler: o Take off the cap from the mouthpiece of the inhaler. o Rotate the bottom part of the inhaler towards one direction until a clicking sound is heard. This action primes the inhaler with a preloaded dose of medication. 
2. Exhale: o Let out the air very gently and completely so as to clear the lungs of all the air. Do not exhale into the inhaler.
3. Inhaling the Medication: o Place the mouth piece between the lips and create a bees lip around it. o Breath in deeply and sharply through the mouth. This will ensure that the dry powder therapeutics in the capsule are inhaled into the lung.
4. Holding the Breath: o After the medication has been inhaled, it is best to remain calm for ten seconds (or until comfortable) while avoiding any activity. This will enable the medicine to move into the lungs effectively. 

5. Rinse Your mouth: o After usage of inhalers, patients should perform mouth wash with water and expectorate it. This is done to prevent oral thrush which is one of the side effects of inhaled corticosteroids and also helps to lessen irritation in the throat.

The Asmanex Twisthaler inhaler allows the patients to inhale mometasone furoate to their lungs. Mometasone furoate is a very effective anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that works mainly in the airways to control the inflammation.

 The problem of chronic inflammation occurs in both asthma and in COPD, and is responsible for such symptoms as wheezing, breath shortness, cough, and difficulties with the breath. Here’s how it works:

• Reduces airway inflammation: Mometasone furoate helps control and reduce the inflammation in the lungs, which is a hallmark of both asthma and COPD. Pro-inflammatory mediators’ release is inhibited, which positively influences the reduction of swelling, which contributes to mucus and airway constriction.

•Prevents asthma attacks: Asmanex Twisthaler’s primary effect is to control the underlying inflammation, which helps prevent the patient from having asthma attacks. It decreases the amount of rescue medicine (albuterol) use and enhances asthma control measures.

• As with any corticosteroid inhaler, Asmanex Twisthaler can also produce side effects although not everyone will experience them. More common complications include:
•  
• Mouth and throat discomfort: After using the inhaler some individuals may develop throat irritation, develop a cough, or even become hoarse.
•  
• Headache: Patients using corticosteroid inhalers, for instance Asmanex Twisthaler, may suffer from severe headaches.
• Presence of congestion or sore sinuses: Conjunctive conditions such as sinus pains or nasal blockage may also occur in some individuals.
•  

Adrenal suppression: It is possible for an individual’s adrenal gland to obtain suppression after extended ingestion of corticosteroids. When this happens, individuals exhibit certain symptoms like abnormal fatigue, muscular dexterity weakness, and low blood pressure state.

Disclosing the following information to your medical practitioner prior to the use of Asmanex Twisthaler is imperative:

• Pressure. Kindly let your doctor know if there are any abnormal manifestations that you will experience.
• Allergic reactions: Momethasone furoate allergy occurs but is scanty in prevalence. If you see that the face, lips, or throat are swollen or if you have difficulty breathing, then call for medical assistance right away.

• Growth in children: Caution is warranted in the use of corticosteroids in growing children as they may restrain growth. If the child is using Asmanex Twisthaler, the doctor will check the child’s growth on a regular basis.

Other Inhaled Corticosteroids (e.g., Fluticasone, Budesonide)

• Interaction: Using multiple inhaled corticosteroids simultaneously can increase the risk of systemic corticosteroid side effects, including osteoporosis, weight gain, and adrenal suppression.
• Clinical Implication: Patients should avoid using more than one inhaled corticosteroid unless directed by a healthcare provider, as overuse can heighten the risks of these side effects.

Beta-Agonists (e.g., Albuterol)

• Interaction: Beta-agonists like albuterol are commonly used as rescue medications for asthma attacks. While no direct interaction occurs with Asmanex Twisthaler, over-reliance on beta-agonists may mask worsening asthma control, leading to underuse of inhaled corticosteroids.
• Clinical Implication: For optimal asthma control, patients should use Asmanex Twisthaler as prescribed for long-term management, not as a substitute for quick-relief medications.

The standard dosage of Asmanex Twisthaler differs depending on the disease and age of the patient: 

• Adult Asthma (Age 12 and Older): The average initial dose reaches one inhalation of 110 mcg given once a day. If there is poor control of asthma, the dosage may be increased to 220 mcg/ day.
• Asthma in Children 5 to 11 Years: The usual dose is one inhalation of 110 mcg per day.
