9 Written Materials The number of puffs contained in your metered dose inhaler is printed on the side of the canister. After you have used that number of puffs, you must throw away your MDI even if it continues to spray. Keep track of how many puffs you have used. If you use an MDI every day to control your asthma symptoms, you can determine how long it will last by dividing the total number of puffs in the MDI by the total puffs you use every day. For example, if your MDI has 200 puffs and you use a total of 4 puffs per day, divide 200 by 4. In this case, your MDI will last 50 days. Then, using a calendar, count forward that many days to determine when to throw away your MDI and begin using a new one. Not very user friendly! Patient Friendly Materials Simple font (12 pt) Layout Writing level Appearance Cultural context Limit message to one or two key points Supplement with visuals 9
