For best results, make sure your doctor or pharmacist demonstrates the proper way to use the inhaler. Shake well before each inhalation. To use the inhaler, tilt the head back and keep the inhaler mouthpiece two finger widths from the open mouth. Begin to breathe in slowly then press down on the canister to release the medication. Continue to inhale taking in the medication. Hold your breath for at least ten seconds, then exhale. During the second half of breath intake the airways are more open which helps the drug reach deeper into the lungs. If more than one inhalation per dose is needed, wait at least one full minute between inhalations. In chronic asthma, this medication must be used routinely as directed to prevent asthma attacks. It is not useful in stopping an attack in progress. Do not use it more often, increase your dose or stop using this without first consulting your doctor. To prevent narrowed airways/wheezing, this drug is usually inhaled 10 to 15 minutes before exposure to causing factor(s).
