I'm new to using the Respimat
My question is if the counter moves up after my 2 puffs ?

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Never had a self assembly inhaler before

[@hopeforusall6968]

Do I hold down the button until the dose is finished or press the button and release it while i'm breathing in?

[@sims4builder851]

hmm good point i just pressed it so i assume u just press it given the mist comes out

[@bearforry3569]

How do I repair the button is stuck in the on position

[@user-tw4do8sq4i]

I'm Korean and I have asthma.

You can still use it after it's past the red...good to know because it never last for the month.
