Accolate Description

Accolate is a medicine used for the prevention and long term treatment of asthma. It comes in the form of tablets, which are taken regularly, often in conjunction with an inhaled steroid or long acting bronchodilator (inhalers).
This medicine works gradually over a period of time to reduce the symptoms of asthma. It should not be used for immediate relief during an asthma attack.

Accolate Directions

Take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Take Accolate on an empty stomach, i.e. at least 1 hour before, or 2 hours after eating.
It is recommended that you take this medicine at the same time every day.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next scheduled dose.
