STEP 2.
SHAKE OFF EXCESS WATER
AND AIR DRY.
To dry, shake off excess water
and leave the mouthpiece and
cover in a safe place to air dry
thoroughly, such as overnight.
When the mouthpiece is dry,
replace the canister and the
mouthpiece cover.
If you need to use your inhaler
before it is completely dry, shake
off excess water, replace the
canister and remove most of the
water remaining in the
mouthpiece by test spraying twice
into the air away from your face.
Then take your dose as
prescribed. After such use, wash
the inhaler again and air dry
thoroughly as recommended
above.
NOTE
:
Blockage from medication build-up
is more likely to occur if the
mouthpiece is not allowed to air-dry
thoroughly.
Storage
Keep your Airomir Autohaler or
Airomir Inhaler in a cool dry place
where the temperature stays below
30°C.
Do not store Airomir Autohaler or
Airomir Inhaler or any other
medicine in the bathroom or near a
sink. Do not leave it on a
windowsill or in the car.
Heat and dampness can destroy some
medicines.
Keep it (together with the
mouthpiece cover) in a place where
children cannot reach.
A locked cupboard at least one-and-
one-half metres above the ground is a
good place to store medicines.
Disposal
If your doctor tells you to stop
taking this medicine or the expiry
date has passed, ask your
pharmacist what to do with any
medicine that is left over.
Dispose of your Airomir Autohaler
or Airomir Inhaler thoughtfully,
remembering that the metal
canister is pressurised. Do not
burn or puncture the metal
canister even when empty, as it
may explode.
