What form does Relenza come in?

Relenza is a powder that you inhale into your mouth using a device called a Diskhaler. The powder is in a pouch called a blister. There are 4 blisters on each circular medication pack (Rotadisks). Each blister contains 5 mg of medicine. Each box of Relenza contains five Rotadisks.

Two (2) blisters are used for each dose.  The 4 blisters on the Rotadisk are enough medicine for 2 doses.  Your doctor will tell you how many times a day and for how many days you should take the medicine.
