Directions for Use: Respiclick™ Inhaler

Some medications can be prescribed as a powder, administered through a dry powder inhaler. With these types of inhalers, the medication is delivered directly to the lungs by the force of your inhalation. Unlike metered-dose inhalers, they don't contain propellants. To use the Respiclick™, please follow these instructions:

Hold the inhaler upright and pull the green cap away from the mouthpiece until you hear a click. Do not open the cap unless you're taking a dose. Opening and closing the cap without inhaling a dose will waste the medication.

Turn your head away from the inhaler and breathe out fully.

Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips around it. Do not block the vent above the mouthpiece with your fingers or mouth.

Breathe in quickly and deeply through your mouth. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Exhale slowly. Close the cap on the inhaler. This will ensure it's ready for your next dose.
