Instructions for Using PERFOROMIST (formoterol fumarate) Inhalation Solution

PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution is used only in a standard jet nebulizer machine connected to an air compressor. Make sure you know how to use your nebulizer machine before you use it to breathe in PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution or other medicines.

Do not mix PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution with other medicines in your nebulizer machine.

PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution comes sealed in a foil pouch. Do not open a sealed pouch until you are ready to use a dose of PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution.

•
Remove vial from the foil pouch.
•
Twist the cap completely off the vial and squeeze all the medicine into the nebulizer medicine cup (reservoir) (Figure 1).
•
Connect the nebulizer reservoir to the mouthpiece or facemask (Figure 2).
 
•
Connect the nebulizer to the compressor.
•
Sit in a comfortable, upright position. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth (Figure 3) or put on the facemask (Figure 4); and turn on the compressor.
 
•
Breathe as calmly, deeply and evenly as possible through your mouth until no more mist is formed in the nebulizer reservoir. The average nebulization time is 9 minutes. At this point, the treatment is finished.
•
Discard the PERFOROMIST Inhalation Solution container and top after use.
•
Clean the nebulizer (see manufacturer’s instructions).
