How to Use a Dry Powder Inhaler
Dry powder inhalers require a different inhaling technique than regular metered dose inhalers (MDI). To use a dry powder inhaler, it is important to close your mouth tightly around the mouthpiece of the inhaler and to inhale rapidly. Here are the steps:
- STEP 1 - Remove the cap and follow package instructions to load a dose of medicine.
- STEP 2 - Breathe out completely.
- STEP 3 - Put the mouthpiece of the inhaler in the mouth.
- STEP 4 - Breathe in quickly and deeply.
- STEP 5 - Hold your breath for ten seconds to allow the medicine to reach deeply into your lungs.
- If your doctor has prescribed two or more inhalations, wait 1 minute and then repeat steps 2-5.
