ZYFLO CR® is intended to help you get your asthma under control:

  • Clinical studies have shown that ZYFLO CR® significantly improves lung function in many patients, improving the ability to move air in and out of the lungs
  • It has also been shown to reduce rescue inhaler use

Not everyone will respond to ZYFLO CR® in the same way. After you start taking
ZYFLO CR®, talk to your doctor about your asthma symptoms to determine if
ZYFLO CR® is working for you.

Get medical help right away if you need to use your rescue medicine more often than usual or if you use the highest number of “puffs” prescribed for one 24-hour period. These could be signs that your asthma is getting worse. This means that your asthma therapy may need to be changed.
