The Zerostat Spacer has been designed to help you obtain full benefit from the medicine released by your inhaler.

The Zerostat Spacer is a holding chamber into which the dose of the medication from your inhaler is released for inhalation. It helps to hold the aerosol for a few seconds to make it easier for you to inhale the medication. 

The Zerostat Spacer also allows the medication to reach the lung with minimal deposition in the mouth or throat.

	Step 1 To assemble your Zerostat Spacer push the two halves of the spacer together firmly.
	Step 2 Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Shake the inhaler well.
	Step 3 Place the inhaler firmly into the narrow end of the Zerostat Spacer.
	Step 4 Place the protection cap over the mouthpiece of the Zerostat Spacer, while holding it with the inhaler firmly.
	Step 5 Holding the inhaler, press down on the canister to release a dose into the Zerostat Spacer.
	Step 6 Remove the protective cap. Close your lips firmly around the mouthpiece to create a good seal as shown above but do not bite. Inhale deeply through your mouth from the Zerostat Spacer. Remove the Zerostat  Spacer from your mouth and hold your breath for 10 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable. Breathe out slowly. If a second dose is required, wait for at least one minute. Remove the inhaler and shake it well. Then repeat steps 3 to 6.
