- Place the mouthpiece in your mouth between your teeth and seal your lips tightly around it
- Take a strong and deep breath through the inhaler
- Remove the Inhaler from your mouth
- Hold your breath for at least 5 seconds, then breathe normally
- Rinse your mouth and throat and spit out the water, this reduces the risk of fungal infection

- Do not use water or other liquids, the powder is sensitive to moisture
- If you use the protective cover, you can take the Inhaler out of it to wipe it
