Keep your inhaler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in bathrooms or cars, where temperature fluctuations are common.
Protect your inhaler from moisture. High humidity can damage the medication.
Keep the inhaler out of reach of children and pets. Accidental ingestion can be dangerous.
When disposing of an empty inhaler, follow local guidelines. Many pharmacies offer take-back programs for proper disposal of medications. Check your local waste management services for information on hazardous waste disposal.
Never flush inhalers down the toilet or throw them in the regular trash. This can contaminate the environment.
Check the expiration date on your inhaler. Discard inhalers after the expiration date has passed, even if they appear to be full.
If you have questions about safe storage or disposal, contact your pharmacist or doctor.
