4 Easy steps
The 4 steps are designed to follow the
instructional patient guide for Colobreathe®,
which is available from both your healthcare
professional, your homecare provider, or
alternatively can be found on https://www.
medicines.org.uk/emc/product/3063/pil
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor,
pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible
side effects not listed in the package leaflet.
You can also report side effects directly via the
Yellow Card Scheme http://www.mhra.gov.uk/
yellowcard. By reporting side effects, you
can help provide more information on the
safety of this medicine. Adverse events may
also be reported directly to Teva UK Limited
at www.tevauk.com

Firstly, breathe out
slowly. Place the
mouthpiece between
your lips and teeth.
Ensure there is a seal
between your lips and the
mouthpiece. Take care not
to cover the air slits with
your fingers or mouth
during inhalation.
You can revisit and repeat
this process, using the
training tool, at such time
as either yourself or your
healthcare professional
feel you would benefit
from improving the
inhalation technique.
Breathe in slowly and
deeply through your
mouth at a rate sufficient
for you to hear an audible
whistle sound. This sound
indicates a minimum flow
rate of 30 litres per minute
has been achieved.
Remove the training tool
from your mouth, hold
your breath for around
10 seconds, then breathe
out slowly.
