<p>The recommended dosage for adult and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older is two inhalations four times a day at regular intervals, which provides a dose of 14 mg per day. In patients whose asthma is well controlled on this dosage (e.g., patients who only need occasional inhaled or oral beta2-agonists and who are not experiencing serious exacerbations), less frequent administration may be effective.<br />
<br />
Each Nedocromil Inhaler canister must be primed with 3 actuations prior to the first use. If a canister remains unused for more than 7 days, then it should be reprimed with 3 actuations. Nedocromil Inhaler may be added to the patient&#39;s existing treatment&nbsp;regimen&nbsp;(e.g., bronchodilators). When a clinical response to Nedocromil Inhaler is evident and if the patient&#39;s asthma is under good control, an attempt may be made to decrease concomitant medication usage gradually. Proper inhalational technique is&nbsp;essential&nbsp;(see&nbsp;Patient Instructions&nbsp;for Use). Patients should be advised that the optimal effect of Nedocromil &nbsp;therapy&nbsp;depends upon its administration at regular intervals, even during symptom-free periods.</p>
