Metered Dose Inhalers/Evohalers

Special instructions:

• Before using the inhaler for the first time or if the inhaler has not been used for several days, release 2 puffs into the air to prime it and make sure it works.
• Rinse or gargle with water after using the controller inhaler to prevent oral thrush.
• If both controller and reliever are required to be used at the same time, always use the reliever (salbutamol) first.
• You should keep a record of the number of doses you have used up to ensure that you have sufficient amount of this medication before your next doctor's appointment. For Seretide®, there is a dose counter on the inhaler.
