MannKind AFREZZA Instructions For Use Manual

This "Instructions for Use" contains information on how to use AFREZZA
Inhalation Powder.
Read this Instructions for Use before you start using AFREZZA and each time you get a new
AFREZZA Inhaler. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of
talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your treatment.
Your healthcare provider should show you how to use your AFREZZA Inhaler the right
way before you use it for the first time.
Important information about AFREZZA:
AFREZZA comes in 3 strengths (see Figure A):
•
o 4 units (blue cartridge)
o 8 units (green cartridge)
o 12 units (yellow cartridge)
If your prescribed AFREZZA dose is higher than 12 units, you will need to use more than 1
•
cartridge.
If you need to use more than 1 cartridge for your dose, throw away the used cartridge
•
before getting a new one. You can tell when a cartridge has been used, because the cup
has moved to the center.
Do not try to open the AFREZZA cartridges. The AFREZZA Inhaler opens the cartridge
•
automatically during use.
AFREZZA cartridges should only be used with the AFREZZA Inhaler. Do not try to
•
breathe in the AFREZZA insulin powder in any other way. Do not put cartridges in your
mouth and do not swallow cartridges.
Use only 1 AFREZZA Inhaler at a time. The same inhaler should be used for the 4 unit, 8
•
unit or 12 unit cartridges.
Store the inhaler in a clean, dry place with the mouthpiece cover on until your next dose.
•
Throw away your AFREZZA Inhaler after 15 days and get a new one.
