Azmasol Caution For Usage

Instructions for Use: Azmasol inhaler should be primed before using it for the first time. The patient should also prime inhaler when the inhaler has not been used for more than 14 days or when the inhaler has been dropped.
To prime, simply shake the inhaler well and then spray 4 times into the air away from the face, shaking well before each spray.
Priming ensures that your inhaler delivers the correct dose. Once primed, the inhaler is ready to use and deliver the correct amount of medicine.
1. Remove the cap from the mouthpiece of the actuator.
2. Make sure the mouthpiece is clean inside and outside.
3. Hold the inhaler by placing index finger on top of the metal canister and thumb on the bottom of the plastic mouthpiece. Shake it well.
4. Raise the Inhaler to the mouth. Put the mouthpiece between the teeth, but do not bite it. Close lips around the mouthpiece. Breathe out slowly and gently through the Inhaler until lungs feel comfortably empty.
