When you are ready to take a dose, hold the dark-colored portion of the inhaler between your left thumb and index finger.

If you are left handed, you may turn the Diskus over and hold it in your right hand. You may then proceed with rest of the instructions using your left hand.

Put your right thumb in the notch of the light-colored section with your index finger as support in the back.

With your thumb in the notch of the light-colored section, push and slowly turn it until it snaps into position.
