How to Check the Contents of Your Canister

not
tell you how much medicine in the AEROSPAN Inhalation 
Aerosol is left.
Use one of the check-off charts to keep track of the amount of medicine you have used.
•
If your canister has 60 sprays, use the “AEROSPAN Inhalation Aerosol 60 Sprays 
Check-Off” chart. 
•
If your canister has 120 sprays, use the “AEROSPAN Inhalation Aerosol 120 
Sprays Check-Off” chart.
