Spacer care

• Clean your spacer before you use it for the first time and then about once a month
• It's not unusual for your spacer to look a bit cloudy
• Wash your spacer in warm water with kitchen detergent and allow to air dry without rinsing
• Drying with a cloth or paper towel can result in electrostatic charge (‘static') on the inside of the spacer, which make the medication stick to the sides
• Wipe the mouthpiece clean of detergent before use
• Spacers should be checked by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse every 6-12 months to check the structure is intact (e.g. no cracks) and the valve is working.

If the inhaler is brand new or you haven’t used it for a week or more, you will need to prime the inhaler before taking a dose. Check the package insert for instructions.
