Wixela Inhub Dosage

Adult and Adolescent Patients Aged 12 Years and Older

For patients aged 12 years and older, the dosage is 1 inhalation twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.

When choosing the starting dosage strength of Wixela™ Inhub™, consider the patients’ disease severity, based on their previous asthma therapy, including the ICS dosage, as well as the patients’ current control of asthma symptoms and risk of future exacerbation.

The maximum recommended dosage is Wixela™ Inhub™ 500/50 twice daily.

Improvement in asthma control following inhaled administration of Wixela™ Inhub™ can occur within 30 minutes of beginning treatment, although maximum benefit may not be achieved for 1 week or longer after starting treatment. Individual patients will experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief.

For patients who do not respond adequately to the starting dosage after 2 weeks of therapy, replacing the current strength of Wixela™ Inhub™ with a higher strength may provide additional improvement in asthma control.

If a previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide adequate improvement in asthma control, the therapeutic regimen should be reevaluated and additional therapeutic options (e.g., replacing the current strength of Wixela™ Inhub™ with a higher strength, adding additional ICS, initiating oral corticosteroids) should be considered.

Pediatric Patients Aged 4 to 11 Years

For patients with asthma aged 4 to 11 years who are not controlled on an ICS, the dosage is 1 inhalation of Wixela™ Inhub™ 100/50 twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
