• How
Follow the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor. An extra patient leaflet is available with this medicine. Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist any questions that you may have about this medicine. THIS MEDICINE IS FOR ORAL INHALATION ONLY. Do not spray in the eyes. If you get this medicine in the eyes, rinse immediately with cool tap water. PRIME THE INHALER according to the directions in the extra patient leaflet. Before using this medicine, be sure that the canister is properly placed in the inhaler unit. Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece and check to make sure there are no hidden foreign objects. SHAKE WELL before each use. Breathe out slowly and completely through the mouth. Place the mouthpiece fully into the mouth in its upright position and close the lips around it, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Your doctor may have told you to hold the inhaler 1 or 2 inches (2 or 3 centimeters) away from the open mouth or to use a special spacing device. As you start to take a slow deep breath through the mouth, press the canister and mouthpiece together at exactly the same time. This will release a dose of this medicine. Continue breathing in slowly and deeply. After you have breathed all the way in, remove the inhaler from your mouth, hold your breath for as long as comfortable (up to 10 seconds), then breathe out slowly through pursed lips or your nose. If more than 1 inhalation is to be used, wait 1 minute and repeat the above steps. Replace the protective cap after use. STORE THIS MEDICINE upright between 59 and 77 degrees F (15 and 25 degrees C).

Do not use after the expiration date on the container or box. KEEP THIS MEDICINE out of the reach of children and away from pets. THIS MEDICINE MAY CAUSE dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth. Rinsing your mouth with water after each dose may help relieve these effects. CLEAN THE INHALER according to the directions in the extra patient leaflet. IF THE INHALER BECOMES BLOCKED, wash the mouthpiece as directed. Do not use this medicine with any other mouthpiece. Do not use this mouthpiece with any other medicine. Keep track of how many sprays you have used. Do NOT place the canister in water to try to determine how much medicine you have left.
