- Do you know how to use your Diskus inhaler? Studies show only 1/3 of patients are using their inhalers correctly, 1/3 are performing adequately but not correct and 1/3 are using their inhalers incorrectly.
This video will teach you how to properly use a Diskus inhaler. A Diskus inhaler is a flat, round device that is used to deliver asthma medicines in powder form. It has a dose counter window so you can see how many doses are left.
Thank You so much, I hope they keep this video on youtube for as long as they are prescribing this inhaler. It made it so easy to use.
So helpful. Thanks for the clear directions.
I am glad I found this video , I won’t need to call the pharmacy for further instruction . On a video it’s easyer than on the phone . Thank you .
Is working well. Is it controlling the symptoms for you. My 2 kids just started using it today. I don’t know how it will go.
I'm taking this med for the first time, and this instructional video was very helpful. Thank you!
Directions were hard to understand on the box, thanks for the video.
My first time too! Instructions on the box were confusing 😕 Great job illustrating the opening, closing and breathing-use technique. 👍
Thanks for these succinct instructions. Most of the other videos go on and on. I guess they love the sound of their voices.
I was holding the inhaler wrong. Holding it horizontally, makes a huge difference. Thank you!
Pin-drop quiet room, then... "The click that was heard 'round the world." 😆 Great step-by-step for using my Advair, thanks.
Omg.. Thank you sooo much 🥰 I was just diagnosed with Athsma and I had No Idea how to use this Medication properly the video was very to the point and informative 👍🏼 👌 😀
Thank you. Even these years later this video is being helpful.
I was very nervous to do this for my first time, but your vídeo was very clear and I did it with more confidence . Thank you very much.
Thank you for the demo. I thought "quick breath" meant a sudden sucking in of air and then holding for 10 seconds. I can't inhale very much quickly, so I probably didn't get much of my first dose. You show what I would consider a "deep breath" of "full breath."
My father is using this med and he watched this video too and he's so greatful.
This was from my dad.
Thanks a bunch! I forgot how to use it. I recently got back on Advair when my insurance changed.
this video really helped me
Thank you, this was very helpful! I didn’t even understand the instructions on the box.
thank you, video instructions helped
Advair definitely helped me with preventing recurring asthma flare ups
This is the perfect technique for optimal marijuana usage as well. Excelent video👍
Lmao
chible tibble
Wait I didn’t finish reading the comments hold uo
Excellent !
Thank you! I just started using this
Thank you Pharmacist Amy!
I sort of figured it out, but was doing two things wrong.
1. wasn't keeping it level. Didn't always have it down, but did sometimes. Just had it any old way.
2. Wasn't holding my breath for ten seconds.
Now I can do it all right.
This was awesome...first time use, absolutely clueless...video very helpful...thx!
Straight to the point, appreciate it
I just picked up my prescription and got this type of inhaler ,thank you for the tutorial very well spoken and very well explained.💯✌🏾

Anyone know how to get Advair (or a similar corticosteroid) for cheap? I can't afford this every month
Thank you very much 🫡
Does the cocking handle go back all way way to the left when you close it, or do you have to close it then lock it?
thank you amy
Hi I am a nurse and I couldn't believe the powder I inhaled not to mention its 2021\ expired 2017. Do you agree with expiration?
Ty so much happy and healthy to you and your family
Thanks, it doesn't say to slide the lever over in the directions.
Only question I have is what is that lever for that can be pulled side to side I don’t understand it
Thank you! I never used an inhaler before so I am very grateful for your video. Peace.
Most inhalers (like Albuterol/rescue inhalers) are much easier to use...you push a plunger down, hear the medicine come out, and the counter clicks. With this discus, you're never really sure if you're getting a dose. I don't like the design, not for the expensive costs.
ive taken many inhalers before but this one doesnt seem to make sense to me, it doesnt spray out like the other ones so im not sure if its even working
Yea I hate it, I like the rescue inhaler better
Just double checking if I read and explained the directions correctly to my mother.
Please where can i buy it, seretide diskus 50/250
Instructions unclear, Zombie apocalypse started
It it normal that when you inhalte you dont hear a sound or notice anything coming out? I tried many inhalers but this one doesnt give any sign that you inhaled correclty, no sound, no click, no taste, no nothing
Lol....Same for me. I had to watch this video several times cause I thought I missed something.
@@shakkazbra4984 I dont know wether it might be true for you, but after 4 years taking asthma sprayers I was diagnosed with silent reflux. I never had real asthma, it was acid that shoot in my throat and caused everything to tighten up to prevent the acid from entering my mouth. Know I changed my diet and drank baking soda to fight the acid, I almost got rid of all the sprayers. Maybe you might be suffering from reflux also.
@@shakkazbra4984 look for Dr. Jamie Koufman on youtube
@@Viv8ldi thank you. I will.
I HATE not having a plunger/hearing the medicine dispense (like on a regular rescue inhaler). I never know if I'm getting anything. Why they designed it to where it's unmetered doses is beyond me. They could have even put the dry powder in front of a gas charge (even if it does nothing for the medicine) just so that the user is ensured of the dose. Very poor design for such an expensive medicine.
Hi!. How many times every day?? Thank you
Depends on your doctor's opinion. For my father doctor suggested 2 puffs with 30 seconds rest
@@alienrrr7036ko ko ko
One dose every 12 hours for me.
ALIEN rrr Thank you very much for answering🙏👍🙂
Johnny Mnemonic Thank you very much for answering🙏🙂
I forgot to rinse my mouth after inhaling, will one time be enough to cause thrush?
No, it has to be continued use for it to affect you. I hardly ever spit it out.
Always rinse mouth and spit out water after use, to help prevent fungus infection.
I inhaled it and felt like a lot got on my tongue? Is that suppose to happen or did I position my tongue wrong?
No, any medication that get on your tongue doesnt make it to your lung where it can help.
Someone told me you’re supppsed to wash mouth with water after ?
Yes, to avoid thrush.
Yes. Always. Do not swallow water after rinsing mouth.
I want to know when the Serevent Discus will be generic- now that my insurance won't cover it.
Even the generic isn't much cheaper. I just paid $130 using Good Rx.

Went to fill Serevent, the cost was: $451.06 ridiculous
Well I clearly did this wrong 🤣
