No dosage adjustment necessary.
Mild to moderate hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary.
Severe hepatic impairment: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer 's labeling (has not been studied).
Inhalation: Administer via oral inhalation once daily at the same time each day; do not use more than 1 inhalation every 24 hours. Do not shake inhaler. Remove from sealed pouch immediately prior to first use. Slide cover of mouthpiece down until a "click " � is heard. Prior to inhaling the dose, exhale fully (do not exhale into the inhaler); close lips tightly around the inhaler mouthpiece and inhale (rapidly, steadily, and deeply); do not breathe through nose or block air vent with fingers. Remove inhaler and hold breath for a few seconds then breathe out slowly and gently. Only open inhaler cover when ready for administration; opening and closing the cover without inhaling the medicine will cause a dose to be lost (the lost dose will be securely held inside the inhaler, but it will no longer be available to be inhaled). Do not close inhaler cover until medication has been inhaled.
Store between 68 � �F and 77 � �F (20 � �C and 25 � �C); excursions are permitted between 59 � �F and 86 � �F (15 � �C and 30 � �C). Protect from moisture, heat or sunlight. Remove inhaler from tray immediately prior to initial use. Discard inhaler 6 weeks after opening the foil tray or after the labeled number of inhalations have reached zero, whichever comes first.

- Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. (HCAHPS: During this hospital stay, were you given any medicine that you had not taken before? Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for? How often did hospital staff describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?)
- Patient may experience rhinitis, pharyngitis, rhinorrhea, muscle pain, joint pain, abdominal pain, or toothache. Have patient report immediately to prescriber bruising, angina, tachycardia, arrhythmia, tremors, vision changes, eye pain, severe eye irritation, visual halos around lights, eye redness, urinary retention, change in amount of urine passed, polyuria, painful urination, or difficulty breathing, wheezing, or cough (HCAHPS).
- Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg, wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions.
