Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Instructions
2. Shake the MDI for 5 seconds before each use. 3. Prime the MDI before the first use or when not used every day. Follow the product's patient information sheet for MDI specific priming instructions. Priming usually involves pressing down on the medication canister to discard into the air one or more puff of medication. Discarding puffs makes sure the next puff inhaled contains the labeled amount of medication. 4. Keep track of metered inhalation puffs used. Subtract the number used from the number of metered inhalation puffs available listed on the label. The number of metered inhaled puffs available is listed on the medication canister or on the box. There are usually 200 puffs in an MDI. 5. Ask family for a new MDI when all labeled metered inhalation puffs are used.
MDI and Aerosol Solution Potential Adverse Reaction: Headache, shakiness, fast heart rate, nausea.
Call parent with 1) student report of symptoms that interfere with schoolwork or activity 2) increase in side effects
3) frequent usage (2 times a day for 3 days).
We have instructed the patient and family in the proper use of the quick-relief medications. It is my
professional opinion that the student:
_____ should be allowed to carry and self administer the inhaled medication.
_____ should not carry and self administer the inhaled medication. The medication should be stored
and administered by designated school personnel.

agree to indemnify, all school employees, the Board of Education and Akron Children's Hospital School Health
Services for damages or injury resulting from the use, misuse or nonuse of such medication except as such Board,
School Health Service or its employees are grossly negligent or engage in wanton or reckless misconduct. I
