Mylan Zempreon CFC-Free Salbutamol Inhaler with Counter 200 doses

Your ZEMPREON puffer helps you to breathe more easily. When your chest is tight or when you are wheezing, ZEMPREON opens up the breathing tubes in your lungs. Your medicine is known as a bronchodilator. Because your ZEMPREON puffer gives fast relief from your chest symptoms, it is often called a 'reliever'. Some people start wheezing or their chest starts to feel tight when they exercise. This is called exercise-induced asthma. If you have exercise-induced asthma, your doctor may tell you to take one or two puffs of your ZEMPREON puffer before you exercise. This can help to prevent the symptoms of exercise-induced asthma.

Instructions:

You will find the instructions on how to use your ZEMPREON puffer in the leaflet provided in the carton. Follow the instructions carefully. Testing your puffer If your ZEMPREON puffer is new and you have not used it before, release four puffs into the air until the counter reads 200 to make sure that it works. If you have not used it for 5 days or more, or, if you drop the puffer, shake it well and release two puffs into the air to make sure that it works. Each time the puffer is activated, the number on the counter will count down by one. In some cases dropping the puffer may cause the counter to count down. How much to take The pharmacist's label will usually tell you how many puffs to take and how often to use your ZEMPREON puffer. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Adults and Children: As required, one or two puffs, repeated four-hourly. Initial doses in the elderly may be lower than the recommended adult dose. Your doctor may tell you to take extra puffs of your ZEMPREON puffer if your chest condition suddenly gets worse. If you take extra puffs and do not get relief, tell your doctor immediately. You should visit your doctor or pharmacist regularly to check that you are using your ZEMPREON puffer in the right way. If you are not breathing the medicine in correctly, the medicine may not be helping you as much as it could. If you find it difficult to breathe in and press your ZEMPREON puffer at the same time, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. It may be better for you to use something called a spacer device with your ZEMPREON puffer. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain what this is and how to use it. If you change the make of spacer you use this may alter the amount of drug delivered to the lungs. You should let your doctor know if your asthma symptoms worsen. If you forget to take a dose, do not worry. Just take the next dose at the normal time or earlier if you become wheezy or feel tight in the chest. Cleaning your puffer Your ZEMPREON puffer should be cleaned at least once a week. To do so: 1. Remove the metal canister and dose counter from the plastic casing (actuator) of the puffer and remove the mouthpiece cover 2. Rinse the actuator thoroughly under warm running water 3. Dry the actuator thoroughly inside and out 4. Replace the metal canister and the mouthpiece cover. DO NOT PUT THE METAL CANISTER IN WATER.
