WHAT IS THE WORKING MECHANISM OF THIS MEDICINE?

It is due to the swelling or inflammation in the airways that a person with asthma will not be able to breathe normally. But with this medicine, you will be able to calm this effect on the airways. The chemical messengers that are responsible for the inflammation will also be inhibited. Both these salts will also help in widening the narrow airways of the lungs and hence breathing gets easier.

Firstly, exhale deeply and then place this inhaler between your teeth or lips and close tightly. Now take a deep breath and while doing that, press down the inhaler. It will release the medicine when you press the inhaler and then you need to hold your breath. Remove the inhaler from the mouth and exhale after a few seconds of holding the breath. Repeat the process if your doctor has suggested more than one puff for you. Close the cap of the inhaler and place it in a safe location. Always wash your mouth with water after using the inhaler.
