How To Use Advair Diskus 

Read the leaflet provided with the medicine before using it and ask a doctor or pharmacist if anything is unclear. Once opened, do not close the device without inhaling the powder, for you will lose a dose. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and teeth without biting it, inhale deeply through your mouth profoundly, and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds as you remove the device in your mouth, allowing the drug to settle in the airways of the lungs. Slowly breathe out, but not in the device, and repeat the process if prescribed more than one puff. Rinse your mouth with water to avoid getting a yeast infection after each use. Do not wash or take any part out of the device and keep it dry. Store the device at room temperature, away from direct heat and light.
