Airomir Autohaler

Airomir is a medicine that is used to treat asthma attacks or to relieve attacks of wheeziness or breathlessness.

Airomir contains a bronchodilator, which can open up the breathing tubes of the lungs and makes breathing easier. It can also help you to feel less wheezy, less breathless and less tight-chested.

Asthma can be a debilitating illness that hinders daily life, while onset attacks of breathlessness can be painful as well as worrying.

Taking Airomir will help to relieve these symptoms in the case of an asthma attack or an episode of wheezing or breathlessness.

This medication can also be taken after exercise or another exerting activity, to prevent an onset asthma attack from happening, while still allowing the user to enjoy daily life.

Airomir is a prescription-only medication. Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the patient information leaflet provided in the medication packet.

Your doctor or nurse should show you how to properly use your inhaler before starting on this medication. To administer, start by holding the inhaler with the mouthpiece at the bottom and then remove the cover. Shake the inhaler vigorously and then breathe out gently (but not fully), before quickly placing the mouthpiece in your mouth and closing your lips around it. Begin breathing in and out through your mouth (slowly and deeply) and then press down on the canister inside the inhaler. This will administer a puff, which you should breathe in and hold for 10 seconds. Breathe out slowly and then replace the mouthpiece cover after use.

You will be able to tell when the inhaler needs replacing by shaking it; if you cannot hear or feel any liquid in the canister then you probably need a new one. Ensure to clean your inhaler once a week to avoid any blockages where the medicine comes out.
