Help with Turbuhaler

[Scarlett81]

Hi

I just got the Pulmicort Turbuhaler today. They didn't enclose intructions and the pharm is closed so..........I'm relying on all the experts here! How do you use it? Does it "puff" or do you inhale like an Advair inhaler?

Sorry, I know this sounds dumb but, confused!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Ok, I figured it out, Dur.....

Sorry for the bother!

You inhale...its not a puff. When you crack it open, turn the bottom of the inhaler clockwise until you hear a click. Then turn it counter clockwise to put a metered dose in ready to inhale. Put the mouth piece to your mouth, and take a quick deep breath. HOld it for 8-10 seconds. Repeat if necessary.

But I guess you figured it out already. LOL.

haha when i first got it, i didn't really read the intructions (I never really do, just try and figure things out for myself). i clicked it, and inhaled, and felt nothing, so I thought maybe something was wrong. So i clicked it like 4-5 times, and inhaled again, and still felt nothing...that's when i decided to look at the instructions and said it takes abit for it to work.

Needless to say, a couple hours at work i was a little shaky, and felt kinda interesting hehee, but it's all good.
