Using your inhaler effectively
- • Technique matters: A steady, slow breath in, followed by a breath hold, can improve drug delivery.
- • Know your device: Metered-dose inhalers, dry-powder inhalers, and soft-mist inhalers each have specific steps.
- • Routine: Consistent use as prescribed helps maintain stable airway function over time.
- • Cleaning: Regular cleaning prevents blockages and ensures each dose is effective.
Know your inhaler
- • Metered-dose: Requires coordination of actuation and inhalation.
- • Dry-powder: Breath-activated, no propellant needed.
- • Soft-mist: Delivers a slow, fine mist for easier inhalation.
- • Spacer: Helps with coordination and increases lung deposition.
