Directions for Use

Respules: A respule is a small plastic container containing a solution. Twist off the top of the results and squeeze the solution into the nebuliser. This solution is made into a fine mist to breathe in. Inhale the medicine through the nebuliser's mouthpiece.Rotacaps: A rotacap is a capsule with powdered medication placed in a Rotahaler. It is for inhalation only. Do not swallow the capsule. The rotahaler is a plastic inhalation device that releases the medication when you breathe. The capsule should be placed at the base of the rotahaler/trans halter and completely twisted around the mouthpiece until you hear a clicking sound. Then, breathe in through the mouthpiece deeply and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Remove the device and breathe out normally.Inhaler: First, remove the dust cap from the mouthpiece and shake the inhaler vigorously. Hold the inhaler with the mouthpiece facing downwards. Breathe out gently before using the inhaler, and immediately place the mouthpiece in the mouth by closing your lips around it. Start breathing in deeply and press the inhaler so that the medicine gets released. Continue to breathe in. Hold your breath for 10 seconds or until you are comfortable, and breathe out slowly. Before using, to ensure that the inhaler is working, test fire it into the air when using it the first time or if it has not been used for more than one week. Clean your inhaler regularly. Once a vial is opened, discard any unused solution. Nebulizer: Fill the medicine cup with the prescribed dose of medicine and attach the hose and mouthpiece to the medicine cup.
