It is important that you read this information as the ASMANEX TWISTHALER may work differently from
inhalers you have used before.
Read this Instructions for Use before you start using ASMANEX TWISTHALER and each time you get a
refill. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare
provider about your medical condition or treatment.
TWISTHALER Parts:
See Figures A and B below to become familiar with the TWISTHALER parts.
Remove the ASMANEX TWISTHALER from its foil pouch and write the date on the cap label.
Figure A: TWISTHALER (upright position)
Figure B: TWISTHALER with Cap Removed
Follow Steps 1 and 2 below each time you inhale a dose from your ASMANEX TWISTHALER.
Step 1: Open TWISTHALER
Hold the TWISTHALER straight up (upright position) with the colored portion (the base) on the bottom
(see Figure C)
. It is important that you remove the cap of the TWISTHALER while it is in this upright
position to make sure that you get the right amount of medicine with each dose.
Holding the colored base, twist the cap in a counterclockwise direction to remove it
(see Figure C)
. As
you lift off the cap, the dose counter on the base will count down by one. Removing the cap loads the
TWISTHALER with the medicine that you are now ready to inhale.
Important
: The indented arrow (located on the white portion of the TWISTHALER, directly above the
colored base) should now be pointing to the dose counter below.
(see Figure C)
.
