Easyhaler - Dosage and How to Use
How should Easyhaler be used?
Each Easyhaler consists of a plastic device that contains dry powdered medication. It is activated by breath. This means that when you inhale, the Easyhaler automatically releases the medication.
Steps
Description
1
Hold the Easyhaler in one hand and remove the cover with the other hand.
2
Shake the Easyhaler up and down 3 to 5 times.
3
Hold the Easyhaler upright between your thumb and index finger.
4
Press down once on the coloured button with your index finger until you hear a ‘click’ sound.
5
Release your finger. The dose is now ready for use.
6
Breathe out normally away from the Easyhaler. Do not breathe into the Easyhaler.
7
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and seal your lips around the mouthpiece.
8
Breathe in as steadily and deeply as you can until your lungs are full.
9
Remove the Easyhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for at least 5 seconds. Then, breathe out slowly away from the mouthpiece with your mouth.
10
If another dose is required, repeat steps 1 to 9 after 1 minute.
11
Replace the cover after use.
12
The last 20 doses will appear in red.
13
If your Easyhaler contains a steroid, please rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent oral fungal infection.
Wipe the outside of the mouthpiece regularly (once a week) with a dry tissue. Do not use water or liquids when you clean the mouthpiece.
