How to Use a Spray Inhaler
Without a spacer
Take off the cap. Shake the inhaler.
Stand up. Breathe out.
Put the inhaler in your mouth or put it just in front of your mouth. As you start to breathe in, push down on the top of the inhaler and keep breathing in slowly.
Hold your breath for 10 seconds. Breathe out.
With a spacer
A spacer, or a holding chamber, makes it easier to use a spray inhaler.
Put the open end of the spacer in your mouth.
Spray the asthma medicine into the spacer one time.
Take a deep breath and hold it for 10 seconds.
Breathe out into the spacer.
Breathe in again, but do not spray the asthma medicine
