You Have A Choice. When deciding how to inhale quick reliever or long-term controller medications, you have several options. MDIs are the most popular way to inhale asthma medicine. But you also can try a dry powder inhaler or, if you have severe asthma, a nebulizer. Consider using a spacer, which makes inhaling medication easier. Keep in mind that inhalers are improving. Ask your doctor about different types.
Technique Matters. Your inhaler only works if you use it correctly. Learning how takes time, patience, and practice. Ask your health care provider how to use an inhaler. While still at the doctors' office, practice. Also, get written instructions about using inhalers. Last, bring your inhaler to your check-up visits. Each time, show your doctor how you're using it. All this may sound like a lot of effort just to take your medication. But it's worth it. Good inhaler technique will help you get the full effect of your medication.
