How to use Seretide

Diskus

• Remove your Diskus from your mouth

• Hold your breath for ten seconds (or for

as long as is comfortable)

• Breathe out slowly and calmly

• Afterwards, rinse your mouth with water

and spit it out. This may help to stop you

getting thrush and being hoarse

• Place the mouthpiece between your lips

• Breathe in steadily and deeply

through your Diskus and not your nose.

INHALE

• Hold the outer case in one hand

• Place the thumb of the other hand in the

thumb grip

• Slide the outer case away from

you until it clicks

OPEN

• Hold your Diskus with the

mouthpiece facing towards you

• Slide the lever away from you until it clicks

• Do not play with the lever as it opens the

blisters and wastes medicine

SLIDE

• Hold your Diskus away from your mouth

• Breathe out as far as is comfortable

(Do not breathe into your Diskus)

• Close your Diskus by sliding the outer

case (see Step 1) back towards you

• Your Diskus is now ready for your

next dose
