provider.

If so, follow its directions for giving asthma medication and seeking medical help for

Insert inhaler into spacer.

Have the person breathe out completely and put mouth tightly around spacer
mouthpiece.

Have the person breathe in slowly through the mouth and then hold breath for 10
seconds.

Give a total of four puffs, waiting about a minute between each puff.

Remove the inhaler cap and shake well.

Have the person breathe out all the way and seal lips tightly around inhaler
mouthpiece.

The person should keep breathing in as slowly and deeply as possible (about five to
seven seconds) and then hold breath for 10 seconds.

Give a total of four puffs, waiting about one minute between each puff.

5. Continue Using Inhaler if Breathing Is Still a Problem

After four puffs, wait four minutes. If the person still has trouble breathing, give
another set of four puffs.

If theres still little or no improvement, give four puffs every four minutes until
ambulance arrives. If the person is having a severe attack, give up to six to eight puffs
every five minutes.
