IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONFIRMAFTER INHALTION

Remove the

protective cap by

lighly squeezing the

arrows marked on

each side and pulling

outwards.

Hold the DUAKLIR

PRESSAIR inhaler with

the mouthpiece

toward you and the

orange button facing

straight up. Do not tilt.

Press the orange

button all the way

down and release.

Do not hold the

orange button

down.

Stop and check to

make sure the dose is

ready for inhalation.

Check to see if the

color of the control

window has changed

from red to green.

The green control

window conﬁrms that

your medication is

ready for inhalation.

Once the control window has turned

red, place the protective cap back onto

the mouthpiece of the DUAKLIR

PRESSAIR inhaler.

Put your lips tightly around the mouthpiece of the DUAKLIR PRESSAIR

inhaler. Take a strong, deep breath. A “click” sounds during inhalation

when the inhaler is used correctly. Keep breathing in, even after you have

heard the “click”, to be sure you get the full dose. Remove the DUAKLIR

PRESSAIR inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for as long as it’s

comfortable. Then slowly breathe out, away from the inhaler.

Make sure the control window has has turned from green to red. This

“conﬁrms” that you’ve inhaled your full dose correctly.

If the window did not change to red, you may have forgotten to

remove your ﬁnger from the orange button before inhaling, or you may

not have inhaled correctly. If this happens, go back to Step 2 and

repeat the dosing instructions.

Hold the inhaler way from

your mouth, and breathe

out completely. Never

breathe into the inhaler.
