Flutiform

Always use Flutiform exactly as prescribed by your doctor or advised by the pharmacist. The recommended starting dose for adults is two inhalations (125/5) twice a day, however, in presence of other factors, this may be increased or decreased accordingly as per the prescriber's clinical judgement. 

For adults with asthma:

• The usual dose is two inhalations twice a day, that is two puffs (actuations) in the morning and two in the evening.

Instructions:

• Unscrew the mouthpiece and check that it is free from dust
• The inhaler should be shaken immediately before releasing each puff to ensure it is evenly mixed throughout 
• Sit or stand upright, hold your inhaler upright and breathe out as far as is comfortable and as slowly and deeply as possible
• Put the mouthpiece in your mouth but do not bite the mouthpiece
• Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth and at the same time, press down on the aerosol can to release one puff
• Continue to breathe slowly and deeply for about 2-3 seconds
• While holding your breath, remove the inhaler from your mouth and continue holding your breath for as long as is comfortable. Do not breathe out into the inhaler
• Replace the mouthpiece cover
• Always rinse your mouth out after you have used your inhaler

Do not use your inhaler more often than the doctor told you to.
