What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking CAYSTON?

Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you are allergic to any antibiotics; if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as it is not known if CAYSTON can harm your unborn baby; if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, as CAYSTON can pass into your breastmilk.

Trouble breathing right after treatment with CAYSTON (bronchospasm). Tell your healthcare provider right away if you experience shortness of breath with wheezing, or coughing and chest tightness. To decrease the chance of this happening, be sure to use your inhaled bronchodilator medicine before each treatment with CAYSTON.
