Odihale 100mcg/12.5mcg Inhaler is a combination medicine designed to help people breathe more easily by opening the airways in the lungs. It is commonly used for managing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), conditions that cause breathing difficulty, tightness in the chest, and persistent cough. This inhaler works gradually, showing noticeable improvement after consistent use for several days, and reaches its full effect within a few weeks. It is meant for regular use to control symptoms, not for immediate relief during sudden asthma attacks.

How Odihale Inhaler Works

Odihale 100mcg/12.5mcg Inhaler combines fluticasone furoate and vilanterol.
• Fluticasone furoate acts as an anti-inflammatory agent that blocks the release of substances responsible for swelling and allergic reactions in the airways
• Vilanterol acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles around the air passages and allowing air to move in and out more freely
Together, they help in reducing inflammation, easing breathing, and preventing sudden breathing difficulties.

What to Avoid While Using Odihale Inhaler

• Avoid using it for sudden asthma attacks—use a rescue inhaler instead
• Do not stop the medicine suddenly without medical advice
• Avoid smoking or exposure to smoke as it worsens breathing problems
• Stay away from dust, fumes, and other known asthma triggers
• Do not share your inhaler with anyone
• Avoid taking other respiratory medicines without consulting your doctor
