Striverdi Respimat (Olodaterol)

Do’s

• Before you start using Striverdi Respimat and each time you get a refill, read the patient information leaflet provided by your pharmacist. It contains important instructions for the proper use of the medication.
• Follow the illustrated directions for the proper use of Striverdi Respimat as provided in the patient information leaflet. If you have any questions, ask your healthcare provider.
• If you are using the inhaler for the first time or if you have not used it for a long time (such as more than 3 days or 21 days), follow the instructions for priming the inhaler. When priming the inhaler, make sure to spray toward the ground (away from the face) to avoid getting the medication into your eyes.
• Inhale Striverdi Respimat by mouth as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily. Wait at least 1 minute between each inhalation.
• If you are using other inhalers at the same time, wait at least 1 minute between the use of each medication.
• Use Striverdi Respimat regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.
• If you have been using a quick-relief inhaler (such as albuterol or salbutamol) on a regular daily schedule, your healthcare provider may direct you to stop this schedule and only use the quick-relief inhaler as needed for sudden shortness of breath.
• Learn which inhalers you should use every day and which ones you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens. Ask your healthcare provider ahead of time what you should do if you experience new or worsening cough or shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, or if your quick-relief inhaler does not seem to be working well.
•  If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, inform your healthcare provider.
