Instructions for using the Pulmicort Turbuhaler

Unscrew the white cover and lift it off. A rattling sound is heard.

Hold the Turbuhaler upright with the brown grip at the bottom. To load the inhaler with a dose, turn the brown grip as far as it will go in both directions (it doesn’t matter which way you turn it first).

Do not hold the mouthpiece when you load the Turbuhaler.

Breathe out gently, but do not breathe out through the mouthpiece.

Place the mouthpiece gently between your teeth, close your lips and breathe in as deeply and as hard as you can through your mouth. Do not chew or bite on the mouthpiece.
