How to use:
STEP 1:
- Open the cover of the inhaler.
- Slide the cover down to expose the mouthpiece. You should hear a “click.”
- The counter will count down by 1 number.
- You do not need to shake this kind of inhaler. Your inhaler is now ready to use.
- If the counter does not count down as you hear the click, the inhaler will not deliver the medicine.
- Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist if this happens.
STEP 2:
- Breathe out.
- While holding the inhaler away from your mouth, breathe out (exhale) fully.
- Do not breathe out into the mouthpiece.
STEP 3:
- Inhale your medicine.
- Put the mouthpiece between your lips and close your lips firmly around it.
- Your lips should fit over the curved shape of the mouthpiece.
- Take one long, steady, deep breath in through your mouth.
- Do not breathe in through your nose.
- Do not block the air vent with your fingers.
- Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for about 3 to 4 seconds (or as long as is comfortable for you).
STEP 4:
- Breathe out slowly and gently.
- You may not taste or feel the medicine, even when you are using the inhaler correctly.
- Do not take another dose from the inhaler even if you do not feel or taste the medicine.
STEP 5:
- Close the inhaler.
- You can clean the mouthpiece if needed, using a dry tissue, before you close the cover. Routine cleaning is not required.
- Slide the cover up and over the mouthpiece as far as it will go.
STEP 6:
- Rinse your mouth.
- Rinse your mouth with water after you have used the inhaler and spit the water out.
- Do not swallow the water.
- Counting Your TRELEGY Doses
Important Note:
- When should you get a refill?
- When you have fewer than 10 doses remaining in your inhaler, the left half of the counter shows red as a reminder to get a refill.
- After you have inhaled the last dose, the counter will show “0” and will be empty.
- Throw the empty inhaler away in your household trash, out of reach of children and pets.
- 24 hour icon
3 medicines. 1 inhaler. Once a day.
- TRELEGY combines 3 long-acting medicines in 1 inhaler.
- That means 1 single inhalation once a day gives you a full 24 hours of better breathing.
- Your results may vary.
