Inhalation formulations should be discussed with a doctor before use, especially for patients with bronchial asthma or poor respiratory function. Occasionally, bronchospasm or shortness of breath may occur during inhalation, so if these symptoms arise, the medication should be stopped immediately and a professional consulted. Inhalation may cause mild odor, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite, and rarely symptoms such as blood in sputum, fever, or drowsiness may occur. If there is an increase in bronchial secretions after inhalation, proper methods must be employed to remove them. Inhalation formulations may lose effectiveness when mixed with antibiotics, so they should be administered separately. Inhalation formulations should not be used by injection or in eye drops, and equipment should be cleaned thoroughly after use of nebulizers. Older individuals should be carefully monitored for their condition during use due to a possibility of decreased physical function.
