No. It's not taken orally.
It is to be inhaled after inserting it into revolizer/ lupihalerhaler device.
You can learn the technique of "how to take it" by watching the video on YouTube.

Yes you can do that. Foracart is supposed to enter your lung by inhalation but some amount is usually taken in the food pipe that can cause bitter feeling. Taking water should not effect the efficacy of drug.

Dear lybrate-user
if you are still having shortness of breath, perhaps a dose increment is required after doing a lung function test. Inhalers are the best way to treat asthma with no side effects so do not worry about it being a habit if inhalers are taken correctly, at this age, there are very high chances that they will be stopped in a while. Most teenagers recover completely before adulthood.
So please do not worry and consult your chest physician regards.

Both are similar medications, giving same results in same doses.
Kindly clarify with your doctor, maybe the dose is increased.

You are taking the right treatment. Continue all, I hope nasal spray you are taking at least twice a day. If your symptoms do not improve with these, you may need a course of oral steroids. I am available for online consultation.
