Relenza Diskhaler Inhl

Generic Name: ZANAMIVIR INHALER - ORAL
Pronounced: (zuh-NAM-uh-veer)

Relenza Diskhaler Inhl Side Effects

Nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, or headache may occur. Because this medication is an inhaled powder, you may experience increased cough after using this medication. If cough or any of these other effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

This medication can cause breathing problems (e.g., bronchospasm), which in rare cases can be fatal. If you have lung/breathing problems and are using this medication, have a fast-acting inhaled bronchodilator (e.g., albuterol inhaler) readily available. If you experience breathing problems such as wheezing or shortness of breath, stop using zanamivir and contact your doctor immediately. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for details.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include:

  • rash
  • itching
  • swelling
  • severe dizziness
  • trouble breathing


This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
