The best way to use an asthma inhaler is with a spacer. A spacer is a device that fits between the inhaler and the person's mouth, and allows the medication to be inhaled more deeply into the lungs. Without a spacer, a person is more likely to get most of the medication from the inhaler directly in their mouth.
While a spacer provides the best method for using an inhaler, you may not always have a spacer available for use. In this case, an inhaler should be used in a specific way to maximize getting the medication where it's needed - into the lungs!
Small volume nebulizers spray compressed air through a liquid medication, creating a fine mist. Breathing the mist can help treat asthma symptoms. Find out the correct way to assemble and use a nebulizer - before it's needed!
