General
There are no data available on the effects of acute or chronic overdose. However, acute
overdosing with Azmacort Inhalation Aerosol is unlikely in view of the total amount of active
ingredient present and the route of administration. The maximum total daily dose (1200 mcg) has
been well tolerated when administered as a single dose of 16 consecutive inhalations to adult
asthmatics in a controlled clinical trial. Chronic overdosage may result in signs/symptoms of
hypercorticoidism. (See PRECAUTIONS.) The risk of candidiasis could also be increased.
