How to Read a Dose Counter

Shows the total number of doses in the inhaler. The dose counter counts every dose but shows the number at interval of 20 doses.

When there are 40 doses remaining the colour changes from green to red, indicating fewer doses. Hence, you may need to consider getting a new inhaler.
