Tell your doctor about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.

AIRSUPRA CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING:

AIRSUPRA Side Effects Icon
  • Worsening trouble breathing, coughing, and wheezing (paradoxical bronchospasm). If this happens, stop using AIRSUPRA and call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away. Paradoxical bronchospasm is more likely to happen with your first use of a new canister of medicine

  • Heart problems, including faster heart rate and higher blood pressure

  • Possible death in people who use too much AIRSUPRA

  • Serious allergic reactions. Tell your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if you have:
    • skin rash, redness, or swelling
    • severe itching
    • swelling of the face, mouth, and tongue
    • trouble breathing or swallowing
    • chest pain

  • Changes in laboratory blood levels. Low levels of potassium (hypokalemia) may cause abnormal heart rhythms. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check your potassium levels during treatment with AIRSUPRA

  • Weakened immune system and increased chance of getting infections. Tell your healthcare provider about any signs and symptoms of infection, including:
    • fever
    • aches
    • feeling tired
    • pain
    • chills
    • nausea and vomiting

  • Fungal infection in your mouth and throat (thrush). This is a common side effect. Rinse your mouth with water, if available, without swallowing after using AIRSUPRA to help reduce your chance of getting thrush

  • Reduced adrenal function (adrenal insufficiency). Adrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not make enough steroid hormones. This can happen when you start taking a medicine containing an ICS (such as AIRSUPRA). When your body is under stress from fever, trauma (such as a car accident), infection, or surgery, adrenal insufficiency can get worse. Symptoms of adrenal insufficiency include:
    • feeling tired
    • weakness
    • low blood pressure
    • lack of energy
    • nausea and vomiting

  • Bone thinning or weakness (osteoporosis). Your healthcare provider should check you for this during treatment with AIRSUPRA

  • Eye problems, including glaucoma and cataracts. You should have regular eye exams while using AIRSUPRA
