Instructions for Using ASMANEX®

Follow the steps below to use the ASMANEX TWISTHALER.

1. Open the Inhaler
  • Hold the inhaler upright with the base (pink) on the bottom
  • Grip the base and twist the cap (white) counterclockwise while keeping the inhaler in an upright position
  • As the cap is lifted off, the dose counter counts down by one (the arrow on the white mouthpiece should point to the dose counter)
2. Inhale Dose
  • Before inhaling your ASMANEX, exhale fully
  • Firmly close your lips around the mouthpiece and take a fast, deep breath while holding the mouthpiece in a horizontal position
  • Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for 10 seconds (or as long as you comfortably can)
  • Replace the cap and twist it clockwise until it clicks (The cap must be fully closed to load the next dose)
  • Check to make sure that the arrow is lined up with the dose counter

Repeat steps 1 and 2 every time you take a dose. Rinse your mouth after using.

Important — Discard the inhaler 45 days after opening the pouch or when the dose counter reads "00," whichever comes first.
