Taking your dose of SPIRIVA requires 4 main steps:

from the blister card; then open the blister.
2. Insert the SPIRIVA capsule and close the mouthpiece firmly
against the gray base until you hear a click.
3. Press the green piercing button once until it is flat (flush)
against the base, then release.
4. Breathe out completely. Then, with the HandiHaler in your
mouth, breathe in deeply until your lungs are full. You should
hear or feel the SPIRIVA capsule vibrate (rattle).
