Don't use inhaler without knowing this? 😇
Have you been using an inhaler for a long time but still haven't found relief from wheezing, even after increasing the dosage?
If you're using large amounts of the inhaler and not feeling better, it might be due to an incorrect inhaler technique. 🙅🏻♀️
Let me explain the correct technique, which applies to both kids and adults. 😊
Most people use an inhaler by spraying it directly into their mouth. However, this method results in 80% of the medicine being stored in the throat and only 20% reaching the lower airways. 🙂↕️
To avoid this, use a spacer device. Fit the inhaler into the spacer, then puff.
This method, which we use for children, is also effective for adults. Yes, adults should also use a mini spacer device: fit the inhaler into the spacer, put it in your mouth, and then puff.
Using a spacer with an inhaler ensures that the maximum amount of medicine reaches the lower airways, reducing the likelihood of it depositing in the throat. 👌🏻
This helps prevent throat infections and voice changes, which are common side effects. By using a spacer, you can reduce your dosage and minimize these side effects
