How to use a flexhaler dry powder
inhaler.
00:00:05;11 - 00:00:07;04
Twist the cover and lift it off.
00:00:08;10 - 00:00:10;21
Check the dose counter on the side
of the inhaler.
00:00:10;27 - 00:00:12;22
Do not use it if it says zero.
00:00:13;02 - 00:00:16;13
Zero means the inhaler is empty and
needs to be replaced.
00:00:17;16 - 00:00:21;06
Prime a brand new flexhaler before
using it for the first time.
00:00:21;17 - 00:00:25;01
Prepare the device by twisting the
brown grip in one direction
00:00:25;03 - 00:00:27;21
as far as it will go, then
twisting it back
00:00:27;23 - 00:00:28;18
the other direction.
00:00:28;29 - 00:00:29;30
You will hear a click.
00:00:30;16 - 00:00:31;20
Repeat this again.
00:00:32;03 - 00:00:34;01
Your flex haler is now primed.
00:00:34;18 - 00:00:37;15
You do not have to prime your flexhaler again after this,
00:00:37;17 - 00:00:40;01
even if you do not use it
for a period of time.
00:00:41;03 - 00:00:44;17
To take a dose, hold the flexhaler
with mouthpiece pointing
00:00:44;19 - 00:00:47;07
straight up and your hand in the
middle of the device.
00:00:47;21 - 00:00:50;15
Never hold inhaler sideways to load
a dose.
00:00:51;18 - 00:00:52;15
With your other hand,
00:00:52;19 - 00:00:55;29
twist the brown grip at the bottom
in one direction as far
00:00:56;01 - 00:00:58;10
as it will go, and then back in the
other direction
00:00:58;12 - 00:00:59;08
until it clicks.
00:00:59;25 - 00:01:01;05
The dose is now loaded.
00:01:01;15 - 00:01:03;02
Do not shake the device.
00:01:04;02 - 00:01:06;26
Prepare your body by sitting or standing
up straight.
00:01:07;05 - 00:01:09;21
Breathe out all the way
away from the inhaler.
00:01:10;03 - 00:01:12;03
Never breathe into the device.
00:01:12;28 - 00:01:14;15
Tilt your head back slightly.
00:01:14;21 - 00:01:17;16
Be sure to hold the flexhaler in
a sideways position.
00:01:18;04 - 00:01:20;23
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth
between your teeth.
00:01:21;06 - 00:01:23;15
Close your lips tightly around
the mouthpiece.
00:01:24;10 - 00:01:26;28
Breath in quickly and deeply through
your mouth.
00:01:28;02 - 00:01:30;28
Remove the flexhaler from your
mouth and hold your breath
00:01:30;30 - 00:01:32;12
for up to 10 seconds.
00:01:36;03 - 00:01:38;16
Breathe out slowly away from
the inhaler.
00:01:39;13 - 00:01:41;24
Repeat these steps if instructed
to take
00:01:41;26 - 00:01:42;17
another dose.
00:01:43;11 - 00:01:45;19
Rinse your mouth with water
and spit it out.
00:01:46;10 - 00:01:50;03
Close the inhaler, cover and store
in a cool, dry place.
00:01:50;21 - 00:01:53;30
If you have trouble using the inhaler
correctly, ask your
00:01:54;02 - 00:01:55;21
pharmacist or doctor for help.
