How to use a meter dose
inhaler without a valved
00:00:03;24 - 00:00:04;17
holding chamber.
00:00:05;14 - 00:00:07;15
Check the dose counter on
the inhaler.
00:00:07;24 - 00:00:09;21
Do not use it if it sends
zero.
00:00:10;06 - 00:00:13;19
Zero means the inhaler is empty
and needs to be replaced.
00:00:14;13 - 00:00:17;05
Prime a brand new inhaler before
using it for
00:00:17;07 - 00:00:17;29
the first time.
00:00:18;18 - 00:00:20;20
This prepares the inhaler for use.
00:00:21;12 - 00:00:26;03
Prime the inhaler by shaking the inhaler for 10 seconds
and spraying two or
00:00:26;05 - 00:00:29;21
four puffs into the air based on
your medicine instructions.
00:00:30;15 - 00:00:33;26
Prime again if you have not used
this inhaler for 1 to 2
00:00:33;28 - 00:00:36;11
weeks or have dropped it.
00:00:36;13 - 00:00:38;02
Priming does not waste doses.
00:00:39;09 - 00:00:42;12
To take a dose, shake the inhaler to
mix the medicine.
00:00:43;05 - 00:00:46;24
Take the cap off the inhaler and make sure
it is clean and there is
00:00:46;26 - 00:00:48;18
nothing inside of
the mouthpiece.
00:00:49;16 - 00:00:52;11
Prepare your body by sitting or standing
up straight.
00:00:52;28 - 00:00:55;17
Breathe out all the way
away from the device.
00:00:56;12 - 00:00:59;08
Hold the inhaler with your pointer
finger on the top
00:00:59;10 - 00:01:00;04
of the inhaler.
00:01:00;25 - 00:01:02;12
Tilt your head back slightly.
00:01:02;20 - 00:01:05;30
Put the inhaler mouthpiece into your
mouth above your tongue.
00:01:06;19 - 00:01:08;30
Close your lips tightly around
the mouthpiece.
00:01:10;03 - 00:01:12;11
Keep your lips closed around
the mouthpiece.
00:01:12;22 - 00:01:13;28
Breathe in through your mouth.
00:01:13;30 - 00:01:18;16
At the same time you press down once
on the inhaler, breathe in
00:01:18;18 - 00:01:21;29
deep and steady for 3 to 5 seconds
to pull the medicine
00:01:22;02 - 00:01:23;02
into your lungs.
00:01:23;25 - 00:01:25;24
Remove the inhaler
and hold your breath
00:01:25;26 - 00:01:27;09
for up to 10 seconds.
00:01:34;04 - 00:01:36;03
Breathe out slowly through
your mouth.
00:01:36;24 - 00:01:38;18
Repeat these steps in
one minute
00:01:38;20 - 00:01:40;07
if using more than one puff.
00:01:41;11 - 00:01:43;18
Rinse your mouth with water
and spit it out.
00:01:44;09 - 00:01:47;16
Replace the cap and store in a
cool, dry place.
00:01:48;21 - 00:01:51;17
Clean your inhaler according to the
package instructions.
00:01:51;25 - 00:01:54;30
If you have trouble using the inhaler
correctly, ask your
00:01:55;02 - 00:01:56;18
pharmacist or doctor for help.
