Section 4.2 Posology
‘For inhalation use’ has been deleted from the beginning of the sentence ‘Patients will need to be trained on the use of the inhaler ….’
The following text in red has been added
The actuator has an integrated counter which counts down the number of actuations (puffs) remaining. This counter is also colour coded. It starts off green then, when there are less than 50 puffs (actuations) left it changes to yellow and when there are less than 30 puffs (actuations) left it changes to red. The counter counts down from 120 to 160 in intervals of 10, and from 60 to 0 in intervals of 5. When this is getting near to zero the patient should be advised to contact their prescriber for a replacement inhaler. The inhaler must not be used after the dose indicator reads “0”.
Format changes have been made to Steps to follow when using the inhaler and changes to the steps to follow when using the inhaler

We have removed
Pack sizes:
1 inhaler (120 actuations)
multipack of 3 x 1 inhaler (120 actuations)
Not all pack sizes may be marketed.
As the 3 x inhaler will not be marketed in ROI we should not have included this update in the SPC. This was the only change to the SPC.
Therefore the revision of text is as per our previous SPC October 2012.
