  • How to use your inhaler or solution
  • Which inhaler or solution is your CONTROLLER and which one is your RESCUE therapy
  • If your inhaler needs to be primed

  • How to store your inhaler or solution
  • If you are on two different nebulizer solutions, know which one you should use first or if they can be combined

Ask your pharmacist:

  • How to use your inhaler properly
  • How to read the counter on your inhaler
  • If there is a way for your inhaler(s) or nebulizer solution to cost you less
  • If there is a way to enroll in automatic refills for your inhalers
  • Talk to your Henry Ford Pharmacist (877) 575-6337.

Tell your doctor if your nebulizer machine does not work properly.
