Asmanex is usually inhaled twice daily or once a day in the evening. Always take Asmanex (mometasone) inhalation for the amount of time and in the correct dosage recommended by your doctor. Taking too much, too little or not taking it as prescribed will have negative effects on your asthma symptoms. It should not be used for an active asthma attack. Asmanex is administered via an inhaler. Rinse your mouth with water and spit after using Asmanex to reduce your risk of developing an oral yeast infection.
