Q. Is the Sports-haler™ safe? Will it deliver the same dose as my old style puffer?
A. Yes. The Sports-haler™ has been designed and independently tested to ensure that it delivers a correct dose of medication..

Q. How do I use it?
A. Insert your asthma medication canister into the Sports-haler™ following the instructions provided. When medication is needed, simply twist the cover of the mouthpiece which is then extended for use. Once extended, hold and use your Sports-haler™ as you would your regular puffer. Always retain your original medication packaging, instructions and plastic holder for use when you are not using the Sports-haler.
