What the FDA labels say
From the Beclomethasone (QVAR REDIHALER) label · effective 2024-06-25
Lung function (FEV 1 or PEF), beta‑agonist use, and asthma symptoms should be carefully monitored during withdrawal of oral or other systemic corticosteroids.
Treat bronchospasm immediately with inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator and discontinue QVAR REDIHALER.
Instruct patients to contact their physician immediately if episodes of asthma that are not responsive to bronchodilators occur during the course of treatment with QVAR REDIHALER.
Patients requiring oral or other systemic corticosteroids should be weaned slowly from oral or other systemic corticosteroid use after transferring to QVAR REDIHALER.
If inhalation induced bronchospasm occurs following dosing with QVAR REDIHALER, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short‑acting bronchodilator.
From the Fluticasone and salmeterol (Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol) label · effective 2025-08-21
