Before first use, or if the inhaler has not been used for 5 days or more, remove the cap, check the mouthpiece is clean, and release 2 test sprays into the air. Sit or stand upright and hold the inhaler upright.

To take a dose:

1. Remove the cap and check the mouthpiece is clean.
2. Shake the inhaler well.
3. Breathe out gently as far as is comfortable.
4. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and seal your lips around it.
5. Start to breathe in slowly and deeply, then press the canister once to release 1 puff.
6. Continue breathing in steadily and deeply.
7. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable.
8. Breathe out slowly.

If you need a second puff, wait about 1 minute and repeat the steps above. Replace the cap after use.

Clean the inhaler once a week to help prevent blockage.
