Stop and Check: Make sure
your dose is ready for
inhalation
1.6 Make sure the coloured control
window has changed to GREEN (see
image 7).
The green control window
confirms that your medicine is
ready for inhalation.
IF THE COLOURED CONTROL
WINDOW STAYS RED AFTER

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.
