How do I use my inhaler
with a Volumatic Spacer?
™
Your doctor may have prescribed a spacer, called
a Volumatic Spacer to be used with your inhaler.
™
Follow the next 9 steps to use your inhaler with a spacer.
Don't forget to refer to the information leaflet that comes
with the Volumatic Spacer, or speak to your doctor,
™
nurse or pharmacist for more information or help on how
to use and clean it.
Using the inhaler with the Volumatic
with a face mask may help in children under 5 years.
Before using your inhaler for the first time or if it has not
been used for 3 days or more, release 1 puff into the air
to make sure it is working properly. Whenever possible,
sit or stand in an upright position when using your inhaler.

Fit the two halves of
the spacer together.
Line up the notch on
one half with the slot
on the other, then
press together.
STEP 2
Remove the protective
cap from the mouthpiece
and check that the
mouthpiece is clean and
free from dust, dirt or any
foreign objects.
