This improves medication delivery by slowing mist delivery and only allowing small particles to be inhaled. Tilt your head back slightly and open your mouth wide. Gently breathe out. Press the inhaler and at the same time begin a slow, deep breath. Continue to breathe in slowly and deeply over 3 - 5 seconds.
Breathing slowly delivers the medication deeply into the airways.
Hold your breath for up to ten seconds. This allows the medication time to deposit in the airways. Resume normal breathing. Repeat steps 3 - 10 when more than one puff is prescribed. Clean the plastic case and cap by rinsing thoroughly with warm water, weekly.
