Clean your inhaler at least once a week. Use a dry cloth to wipe the mouthpiece and canister. Avoid using water or other liquids, as this can damage the inhaler.
Cleaning the Mouthpiece
For a deeper clean, carefully detach the mouthpiece (if possible with your specific inhaler model). Wipe it with a dry cloth, and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
Inspecting Your Inhaler
Regularly check the canister for dents or damage. A damaged canister could compromise the effectiveness of your medication. If you notice any issues, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Also, note the expiry date on the inhaler and discard it once expired.
Remember: Always follow the specific cleaning instructions provided by your inhaler’s manufacturer. These instructions might vary slightly depending on the model.
Storage
Store your inhaler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Protect it from extreme temperatures. This helps to maintain its functionality and preserve the medication’s potency.
Proper cleaning and storage extend the life of your inhaler and ensure you receive the intended dose of medication each time you use it.
