Fobumix Easyhaler 80/4.5 inhalation powder - User Guide
Fobumix Easyhaler may be different to inhalers you have used in the past. Therefore it is very important that you use it properly as using incorrectly can lead to you not receiving the right amount of medicine. This could make you very unwell or could lead to your asthma not being treated as it should.
Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist will show you how to use your inhaler properly. Make sure you understand the correct way to use the inhaler. If you are unsure contact your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. As with all inhalers, caregivers should ensure that children prescribed Fobumix Easyhaler use correct inhalation technique, as described below. You can also use the instruction video at www.oeh.fi/bfgb
The Easyhaler comes in a foil bag. Do not open the foil bag until you are ready to start using the medicine as it helps to keep the powder dry in the inhaler.
When you are ready to start treatment open the bag and record the date e.g., in your calendar.
Use the inhaler within 4 months of removing from the foil bag.

If you need to take another inhalation, please repeat the steps 1-3 Shake-Click-Inhale.
If you click the inhaler by accident, or if you might have clicked it more than once, or if you breathe out into it, empty the mouthpiece.
Keep your inhaler dry and clean. If necessary you may wipe the mouthpiece of your inhaler with a dry cloth or tissue. Do not use water: the powder in the Easyhaler is sensitive to moisture.
You may use a protective cover with your inhaler.This helps to improve durability of the product. When you first insert your inhaler in the protective cover make sure the dustcap is on the inhaler as this stops it going off by accident. You can use the inhaler without removing it from the protective cover.
Follow the same instructions as above, 1. Shake – 2. Click – 3. Inhale.
Remember to:
The dose counter shows the number of remaining doses. The counter turns after every 5th click. When the dose counter starts turning red, there are 20 doses left.
If you do not already have a new Easyhaler, contact your doctor for a new prescription. When the counter reaches 0 (zero), you need to replace the Easyhaler.
If you use the protective cover, you can keep it and insert your new inhaler into it.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
