Turbuhaler Technique and Tips

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to load your dose of medication.

• Hold inhaler upright after loading medicine.

• Hold the inhaler away from the mouth, take a deep breath in, and blow out slowly
and completely.

• Put your mouth around the mouthpiece and inhale deeply and forcefully.

• Hold your breath and count to 10.

• Breathe out slowly.

• Repeat these steps for the number of doses that your doctor has prescribed.

• Rinse your mouth with water, but don’t swallow.

• The red line appearing on the window of your turbuhaler indicates only 20 doses left.
Order refill at this time.
