Dosage and Administration of Primatene Mist: A Simple Guide

Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The usual dose is one inhalation, up to four times daily as needed. Wait at least 4 hours between doses.

Before using: Check the canister for proper function by pressing down the actuator. If nothing happens, obtain a new canister.

Using the inhaler: Remove the cap. Hold the canister upright. Breathe out completely. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and press down firmly while you breathe in slowly and deeply. Hold your breath for 10 seconds. Remove the inhaler and exhale slowly.

Important note: Avoid excessive use. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. If experiencing rapid heartbeat, tremors, or nervousness, stop use immediately and contact your doctor.

Storage: Store the inhaler at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Missed Dose: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
