correctly.
Stop and Check: Make sure
your dose is ready for
inhalation

The green control window
confirms that your medicine is
ready for inhalation.
IF THE COLOURED
CONTROL WINDOW STAYS
RED AFTER PRESSING THE
ORANGE BUTTON ALL THE
WAY DOWN, GO BACK TO
'STEP 1 ACTIVATE YOUR
INHALER' AND REPEAT
STEPS 1.1 TO 1.6.
Step 2: Inhale your dose
Read steps 2.1 to 2.7 fully before
use. DO NOT HOLD THE
ORANGE 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 ORANGE BUTTON
DOWN WHILE YOU ARE
INHALING. DO NOT TILT.

slightly sweet or bitter taste when
inhaling the medicine. Do not take
an extra dose if you do not taste or
feel anything after inhaling.
Stop and Check: Make sure
you have inhaled correctly

is now RED (see image 9). This
confirms that you have inhaled your
full dose correctly.
IF THE COLOURED
CONTROL WINDOW IS STILL
GREEN, THIS MEANS YOU
HAVE NOT INHALED YOUR
FULL DOSE CORRECTLY. GO
BACK TO 'STEP 2 INHALE
YOUR DOSE' AND REPEAT
STEPS 2.1 TO 2.7.
•
If the control window still does
not change to RED, you may
have forgotten to release the
orange button before inhaling or
may not have inhaled correctly.
If that happens, try again.
Make sure you have RELEASED
the orange button and take a

correctly after several attempts,
consult your doctor.
