Autohaler - Breath Actuated MDI Inhaler
An Autohaler consists of a pressurized canister of medication in a plastic case with a mouthpiece. The Autohaler is breath activated. This means when you inhale, the Autohaler automatically releases a mist of medication. When inhaled correctly, the medication has a better chance to reach the small airways. This increases the medication's effectiveness. Its portable size, efficiency and convenience make the Autohaler a desirable method for inhalation treatment.
Autohaler can be very useful to people who have trouble with the timing and coordination that is needed to use a MDI inhaler, because you only need to be able to seal your lips around the mouthpiece and breathe in. The medication is held in the metal canister, along with propellant, which ‘fires’ the medication into your throat towards your lungs
The Autohaler contains 400 puffs. You may want to date your Autohaler when you get it so you can estimate how long it will last.

For cleaning the Autohaler, follow the below instructions:
- Clean the Autohaler once a week or sooner if needed. Regular cleaning will prevent powder accumulation inside the Autohaler mouthpiece.
- Remove the cap from the Autohaler by pulling down the lip on the back of the cap.
- Turn the Autohaler upside down with the mouthpiece up. Wipe the mouthpiece with a clean dry cloth.
- Gently tap the back of the Autohaler so the flap comes down and the spray hole can be seen.
- With the white flap down as shown in the picture, clean the surface of the flap with a dry cotton swab.
