Benefits of inhalers
Inhalers are an effective way of delivering medication to small airways.
This reduces systemic or whole body effects. A lower dose is required using an inhaler rather than an oral steroid. Inhalers are both safe and cost-effective.
However they will only work if the correct technique is used.
Inhalers come in three main forms:
- Metered dose inhalers (MDI).
- Breath activated aerosol inhalers.
- Dry powder inhalers.
