AVOID COMMON INHALER MISTAKES

FOLLOW THESE INHALER TIPS:

• Breathe out before pressing your inhaler.
  
  
• Inhale slowly.
  
  
• Breathe in through your mouth, not your nose.
  
  
• Press down on your inhaler at the start of inhalation (or within the first second of inhalation).
  
  
• Keep inhaling as you press down on inhaler.
  
  
• Press your inhaler only once while you are inhaling (one breath for each puff).
  
  
• Make sure you breathe in evenly and deeply.

NOTE: Other inhalers are becoming available in addition to those illustrated above. Different types of inhalers may require different techniques.
