Anoro Ellipta is a ready-to-use device designed with you in mind. This means that most people with COPD will find it easy to use.3,5,8,9
There are three simple steps1,5,7:
Step One - Open
Open the cover of the inhaler by sliding the cover down until you hear a click. The counter will count down by one number.1,5,7
Step Two - Inhale
After clicking open, breathe out as far as is comfortable, away from the Anoro Ellipta puffer.
Put the mouthpiece firmly between your lips and take one long steady breath in through your mouth. Be careful not to cover the air vent with your fingers when inhaling.
Hold this breath for about 3 to 4 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable. Remove the puffer from your mouth and breathe out slowly and gently away from your Anoro Ellipta puffer.1,5,7
Step Three - Close
Close your Anoro Ellipta puffer by sliding the cover up and over the mouthpiece as far as it will go.1,5,7
