How to Use a Metered Dose Inhaler
A metered dose inhaler (MDI) is a device used to deliver asthma medicine into the lungs. To be sure to deliver the medicine effectively, use the following steps:
- STEP 1 - Remove the cap and shake the inhaler.
- STEP 2 - Hold the inhaler about 1-2 inches in front of the mouth. Breathe out - completely.
- STEP 3 - Press down on the inhaler to release the medicine as you start to breathe in slowly.
- STEP 4 - Breathe in slowly for three to five seconds.
- STEP 5 - Hold your breath for ten seconds to allow the medicine to reach deeply into your lungs.
- If your doctor has prescribed two puffs, wait 1 minute and then repeat steps 2-5.
