A method for controlling a turbomachine including a temporary power-increasing device, the control method including a step wherein the flow rate of the coolant injected is adjusted as a function of the atmospheric pressure and/or of the ambient temperature and/or of at least one parameter such as the speed of rotation of a gas generator, the speed of rotation of a low-pressure turbine or of a power turbine, the gas pressure at the outlet of a compressor stage, the temperature at the inlet of the low-pressure turbine or of the power turbine, the engine torque, and/or the collective pitch of a helicopter rotor or the pitch of a propeller of a turboprop.
