For inhalation use only. Use exactly as prescribed; typically taken regularly (once or twice daily). Shake inhaler well before use, exhale fully, seal lips around mouthpiece, press canister and inhale deeply, then hold breath ~10 seconds. Rinse mouth/gargle with water after each use to reduce oral thrush; use with a spacer if advised. Not for sudden asthma symptoms—use a reliever inhaler for acute attacks.
