After using it
Cleaning Instructions
This pack contains an extra
mouthpiece which can be used while
the other mouthpiece is being dried
after washing.
Tilade does not contain CFC, which
harms the environment, and
contributes to the depletion of the
ozone layer. The propellant used is
more environmentally friendly and is
in keeping with our responsibility to
support the phasing out of all CFC-
containing products. Unfortunately,
this propellant tends to result in some
blockage in the mouthpiece which
can only be prevented by daily
cleaning and drying of the
mouthpiece. It is therefore very
important to keep Tilade CFC-Free
inhaler clean and dry to prevent the
build up of excess powder in the
mouthpiece which can then be
difficult to remove and cause
blockage to occur.
YOUR MOUTHPIECE MUST BE
REGULARLY CLEANED AND
DRIED.
FOR BEST RESULTS WASH
MOUTHPIECE EVERY NIGHT
