Instructions for correct administration of the preparation: Check the expiry date before taking the medication. Remove the cap. If it is a new inhaler or has not been used for a few days, shake the aerosol and press the actuator to ensure the inhaler is working properly. If you use the inhaler frequently, follow these instructions: Shake the inhaler. Exhale as much air as possible from your lungs. Place the aerosol in your mouth. Inhale as deeply as possible. While inhaling, press the actuator. Remove the aerosol from your mouth and try to hold your breath for a few seconds. The oral aerosol pulsator-adapter should be washed periodically. To do this, remove the pulsator and clean it with a cloth or paper towel. Replace the cap to protect it from dust and dirt. Your doctor should check that you know how to use the inhaler and how to synchronize your breathing during inhalation. The inhaler has a dose indicator, visible in a small hole or window on the actuator, which indicates how many actuations are left. In a new inhaler, the pulsator window may read "120" or "200" (depending on the size of the vial prescribed for you). These numbers correspond to the doses remaining in the inhaler. When using the inhaler, the dose indicator moves down every 5-7 actuations until it reaches 0. When approximately 40 doses remain, the indicator color changes from green to red to remind the patient to consult their doctor to determine if treatment should be continued or if a new prescription is needed. Discard the inhaler as soon as the indicator reaches "0". Storage: Keep the medication out of reach of children. Store below 30ºC. Protect from direct sunlight and do not freeze or refrigerate.
