  • Make sure to keep all other rescue medicines handy for your child in case of any respiratory distress.
  • If your child is taking inhaled corticosteroids, taper down the dose gradually only after the advice of the doctor.
  • Never increase or decrease the dose of Lasma 4 Tablet on your own as it can harm your child.
  • Never combine Lasma 4 Tablet with other cold and flu medicines as that may cause some side effects.
