• Shake the Inhaler vigorously up and down three to five times, to allow proper powder flow and a correct dose


• After shaking, hold the Inhaler in the upright position


• Press the Inhaler once between your finger and thumb until you hear a click and let it click back again, to deliver powder into the inhalation channel inside the mouthpiece
