HOW TO USE WIXELATM INHUB
TM
Wixela Inhub was designed with patients in mind to help you make
®
a seamless transition from ADVAIR DISKUS
(fluticasone propionate
and salmeterol inhalation powder).
Take Wixela Inhub out of the foil pouch just before you use it for the first time. Write the “Pouch opened” and “Use by” dates on the label.
The “Use by” date is one month from the date you open the pouch for your first dose.
Follow the 5 steps below each time you take a dose.
Open your INHUB
• Hold the INHUB in one hand
and with your other hand on the
grip lower the mouthpiece
cover from top to bottom.
1
2
Inhale your medicine.
• Before you breathe in your dose from the INHUB, breathe out (exhale) as long as you
can while you hold the INHUB away from your mouth. Do not breathe into the mouthpiece.
3
• Put the mouthpiece to your lips. Breathe in quickly and deeply through the INHUB.
Do not breathe in through your nose.
• Remove the INHUB from your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds,
or for as long as is comfortable for you.
• Breathe out slowly for as long as you can.
• The INHUB delivers your dose of medicine as a very fine powder that you may or may not taste
or feel. Do not take an extra dose from the INHUB even if you do not taste or feel the medicine.
Push down the lever.
• Hold the INHUB in the vertical position. Push the
yellow lever down to the end of the purple arrows (you
may hear a click).
• The INHUB is now ready to use.
Follow the instructions below so you will not accidentally
waste a dose:
• Do not close the INHUB.
• Do not move the lever on the INHUB once pushed down.
Close the INHUB
• Push the mouthpiece cover up to the closed
position, this will automatically return the yellow
lever to the start position. Make sure the INHUB
is shut and you cannot see the mouthpiece.
Rinse your mouth
• Rinse your mouth with water after
breathing in the medicine. Spit out the
water. Do not swallow it.
• The dose counter will count down one dose as
you close the mouthpiece cover. This will now
tell you how many doses are left.
• The INHUB is now ready for you to take your
next scheduled dose in about 12 hours.

repeat Steps 1 through 4.

(COPD), including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, for better breathing and fewer flare-ups.

replace a rescue inhaler.

significant increased risk in hospitalizations and death from asthma problems.

with you to treat sudden symptoms.

to any of the ingredients in the products. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.
• Do not use WIXELA INHUB more often than prescribed.
• Do not take WIXELA INHUB with other medicines that contain a LABA for any reason.
• Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take and about all of your health conditions.
• Common side effects of WIXELA INHUB for asthma include upper respiratory tract infection, throat irritation,
hoarseness and voice changes, thrush in your mouth or throat, bronchitis, cough, headache, and nausea and vomiting. In
children with asthma, infections in the ear, nose, and throat are common.
• Common side effects of WIXELA INHUB for COPD include thrush in your mouth or throat, throat irritation, hoarseness
and voice changes, viral respiratory infections, headache, and muscle and bone pain.
