How to use the Respimat inhaler (Spiriva Respimat and Spiolto Respimat). A short demonstration of this inhaler device. To inhale correctly you first need to activate the inhaler by twisting the bottom half. This will then allow you to press on the grey button next to the mouthpiece which will release a soft mist. Ideally you would want to empty your lungs of air, put your lips on the mouthpiece and as you are breathing back in, press the button to release the mist, catching it as you are breathing in slowly and deeply.

Spiriva contains tiotropium (a bronchodilator) and is generally prescribed for COPD or asthma.
Spiolto contains both tiotropium and olodaterol (which are both bronchodilators) and is generally prescribed for COPD.
