Always wash your hands before handling the inhaler.
Preparing the Inhaler
Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece. Check the canister for any cracks or damage. Discard if damaged. Shake the canister well for 5 seconds before each use to mix the medication.
Administering the Medication
Hold the inhaler upright. Breathe out completely. Place the mouthpiece between your teeth, closing your lips tightly around it. Begin inhaling slowly and deeply. At the same time, press down on the canister to release one puff of medication. Continue inhaling slowly and deeply for 3-5 seconds. Hold your breath for 10 seconds. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and slowly exhale. Wait approximately one minute between puffs if your doctor prescribed more than one puff at a time.
Cleaning the Inhaler
- Clean the mouthpiece with a dry cloth after each use. Do not wash the inhaler with water.
Important Notes
Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. If you experience any unexpected side effects, contact your physician immediately. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance on proper usage and potential interactions with other medications. Properly store the inhaler as directed on the label to maintain its efficacy.
Spacing Out Doses
Maintain the prescribed time interval between doses. Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it’s almost time for the next dose. Never double the dose.
