Step 2: Inhale your dose

Read steps 2.1 to 2.7 fully before

use. DO NOT HOLD THE

GREEN BUTTON DOWN

WHILE INHALING. Do not tilt.

2.1 Before bringing the inhaler to

your mouth, breathe out completely

away from the mouthpiece. Do not

breathe out into the mouthpiece of

the inhaler.

2.2 Hold your head upright and close

your lips tightly around the

mouthpiece of the inhaler.

2.3 Breathe in STRONGLY and

DEEPLY through your mouth (see

image 8). This strong, deep breath

pulls the medicine through the

inhaler into your lungs.

While you breathe in you will hear

a "CLICK" which signals that you

are inhaling correctly. Keep

breathing in for as long as possible

even after you have heard the

"CLICK" to be sure you get the

full dose.

ATTENTION: DO NOT HOLD

THE GREEN BUTTON DOWN

WHILE YOU ARE INHALING.

DO NOT TILT.
