Turbuhaler® Usage
Print Page

To use your Turbuhaler, do the following for one dose:

  1. Unscrew the cap and take it off. Hold the inhaler upright
  2. Twist the coloured grip of your Turbuhaler as far as it will go, then twist it all the way back. You've done it right when you hear a "click"
  3. Breathe out away from the device
  4. Put the mouthpiece between your teeth, and close your lips around it. Breathe in forcefully and deeply through your mouth
  5. Remove the Turbuhaler from your mouth before breathing out
  6. Always check the number in the dose counter window under the mouthpiece to see how many doses are left. For the Turbuhalers® that do not have a dose counter window, check the window for a red mark, which means your medication is running out. When finished, replace the cap

Do not use a spacer with the DISKUS®, Turbuhaler® or any other dry powder inhaler
