To use the inhaler:


  • Shake the inhaler several times and uncap the mouthpiece. Breathe out fully and place your lips around the mouthpiece. Take a deep, slow breath as you push down on the canister. Hold your breath for several seconds, then exhale slowly.


  • If you take more than one dose at a time, wait for at least 1 full minute, then repeat the procedure.




  • Keep your inhaler clean and dry. Keep the mouthpiece capped to avoid getting dirt inside it. Clean your inhaler once a day by removing the canister and immersing the mouthpiece in warm water. Allow the parts to dry, then reassemble the inhaler.

The treatment is complete when no more mist is formed by the nebulizer and the drug chamber is empty.




  • Clean the nebulizer after a treatment as directed by the manufacturer.
