===Meter-dosed inhalers=== # The mouthpiece is removed and the inhaler is shaken for 5β10 seconds. # The inhaler is gripped with mouthpiece on the bottom and canister on top. A finger is placed on the canister to allow for delivery of medicine. # Deep inhalation is done until no more air can be taken into the lungs. # Deep exhalation is done until most of the air is out of the lungs. # Once deep exhalation is done, mouth is placed over mouthpiece. # As the next deep inhalation begins, the canister is pressed down to release the medicine into the lungs. # Slow deep breathing is continued and breath is held for 5β10 seconds, keeping the medicine in the lungs for a longer time period and preventing escape of aerosolized form of the medicine. # Complete exhalation is done again. If multiple puffs of the medicine have to be taken, steps 1β5 are repeated after waiting for 15β30 seconds. # Mouthpiece is replaced.<ref name=":0" />
