What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS ATECTURA BREEZHALER (indacaterol/mometasone furoate) is a combination of a long-acting beta2- adrenergic agonist (LABA) and an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) indicated as a once-daily maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with reversible obstructive airways disease. ATECTURA BREEZHALER should be prescribed for patients not adequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication, such as ICS or whose disease severity clearly warrants treatment with both a LABA and an ICS. ATECTURA BREEZHALER is not indicated for patients whose asthma can be managed by occasional use of a rapid onset, short duration, inhaled beta2-agonist or for patients whose asthma can be successfully managed by ICS along with occasional use of a rapid onset, short duration, inhaled beta2-agonist. ATECTURA BREEZHALER is not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm (see General). 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (under 12 years of age): The safety and efficacy of ATECTURA BREEZHALER in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age has not been established, therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for this age group. 1.2 … https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00063537.PDF PM date: May 5, 2020 Source product: ATECTURA BREEZHALER; DIN 02498685; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
