    medication is for he didn't go over any
  • 00:01:19
    information okay that's fine so this is
  • 00:01:21
    albuterol
  • 00:01:22
    it's an inhaler used for shortness of
  • 00:01:24
    breath and something special about this
  • 00:01:26
    inhaler is that it's used for rescue use
  • 00:01:28
    so whenever you're feeling difficulty
  • 00:01:31
    breathing this inhaler is going to help
  • 00:01:33
    solve that problem how did your doctor
  • 00:01:35
    tell you to take this medication okay
  • 00:01:40
    that's fine so to begin you want to make
  • 00:01:42
    sure you take off the mouthpiece and
  • 00:01:45
    shake it well and if it's your first
  • 00:01:48
    time using it you're going to want to
  • 00:01:49
    prime it by spraying it a few times in
  • 00:01:51
    the air
  • 00:01:51
    next you want to seal your lips around
  • 00:01:53
    the
  • 00:01:54
    mouthpiece and as you press down you
  • 00:01:56
    want to take a deep inhale very slowly
  • 00:01:58
    through your mouth
  • 00:01:59
    and count to 10 counting to ten we'll
  • 00:02:01
    make sure that the medication can get
  • 00:02:03
    all the way to your lungs and providing
  • 00:02:05
    the most relief possible okay
  • 00:02:07
    afterwards you want to remove it from
  • 00:02:08
    your mouth and take a deep exhale away
  • 00:02:11
    from the mouthpiece through pursed lips
  • 00:02:13
    so very slow through pursed lips and
  • 00:02:16
    then this medication as it's written
  • 00:02:18
    here it's meant to be taken one to two
  • 00:02:20
    puffs by now as needed for shortness of
  • 00:02:22
    breath so if after you take your first
  • 00:02:24
    dose you notice you're still feeling
  • 00:02:26
    shortness of breath it's important that
  • 00:02:28
    you wait one minute before deciding if
  • 00:02:30
    you need to take the next book okay and
  • 00:02:32
    how did your gum
  • 00:02:34
    what else in your dock besides expect
  • 00:02:36
    from this medication no information at
  • 00:02:38
    all okay so the main thing is that it's
  • 00:02:41
    going to relieve your shortness of
  • 00:02:42
    breath but there are some other side
  • 00:02:44
    effects that I want you to be aware of
  • 00:02:45
    some minor things is that it can cause
  • 00:02:47
    some headache jitteriness and
  • 00:02:49
    nervousness but these are all just
  • 00:02:51
    normal effects to how your body would
  • 00:02:53
    respond to the medication something
  • 00:02:54
    serious I want you to look out for is
  • 00:02:56
    something called bronchospasm and what
  • 00:02:59
    that will look like is continued
  • 00:03:00
    shortness of breath after taking both
  • 00:03:02
    doses of the inhaler so if you notice
  • 00:03:04
    you've taken the dose you waited a
  • 00:03:06
    minute taken another one and you're
  • 00:03:07
    still having trouble breathing it's
  • 00:03:09
    important you call your doctor right
  • 00:03:10
    away and stop taking the medication okay
  • 00:03:12
    and just some other things I want you to
  • 00:03:15
    be aware of is that it's important to
  • 00:03:16
    store this medication in a cool dry
  • 00:03:18
    place so because it's needed it's
  • 00:03:21
    written for as needed use it's important
  • 00:03:23
    that you keep it on you at all times I
  • 00:03:25
    often recommend patients secure it in
  • 00:03:27
    their purse which is a nice safe
  • 00:03:28
    environment for it to reach in if you
  • 00:03:30
    ever feel that shirt you suppress but
  • 00:03:32
    it's important that you don't leave it
  • 00:03:34
    in your car as the heat and the sunlight
  • 00:03:36
    can change the way the medicine works
  • 00:03:37
    and make it less effective 3 okay and
  • 00:03:40
    just some other things in terms of
  • 00:03:42
    cleaning you'll want to clean it once
  • 00:03:43
    weekly with a dry cloth and a warm water
  • 00:03:46
    you can do that just by removing this
  • 00:03:48
    and
  • 00:03:48
    and rinsing it through with warm water
  • 00:03:50
    and letting your child okay and in terms
  • 00:03:53
    of refills it says here you have two
  • 00:03:56
    refills remaining so we can go ahead and
  • 00:04:00
    get that going for you when you're
  • 00:04:01
    feeling low on this medication something
  • 00:04:03
    last thing I want you to keep aware of
  • 00:04:05
    is um making sure you keep track of how
  • 00:04:08
    often you take the medication because if
  • 00:04:09
    you're taking it more than once or two
  • 00:04:11
    times a day that kind of signifies that
  • 00:04:13
    you may need a stronger medication
  • 00:04:20
    that's right okay just to make sure I
  • 00:04:22
    didn't leave anything out can you would
  • 00:04:24
    you mind repeating back to me how you
  • 00:04:26
    plan to take this medication it's
  • 00:04:41
    actually one puff one pot first and then
  • 00:04:44
    after going through the routine if you
  • 00:04:46
    notice they still have shortness of
  • 00:04:47
    breath wait one minute
  • 00:04:48
    before taking and deciding if you need
  • 00:04:50
    that second okay and could you also
  • 00:04:54
    explain to me how you plan to store the
  • 00:04:55
    medication and recommend taking it in
  • 00:05:02
    your bag because it is used as needed
  • 00:05:03
    for shortness of breath so you want to
  • 00:05:05
    make sure it's in a convenient place
  • 00:05:06
    okay and lastly what other questions can
