novation in packaging. The ASMANEX TWISTHALER employs an inhalation-driven device that does not use a propellant, thus eliminating the need for hand-breath coordination, and it provides patients with a numeric dose counter that provides a visual indication of the remaining doses.

ASMANEX is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma as prophylactic therapy in patients 4 years of age and older.
