[Methods for administration of anti-asthma inhalation drugs].
Inhalation of aerosols is an established treatment of asthma. There are different delivery systems such as metered-dose inhalers, spacer devices, powder inhalers and nebulizers. The prescribing physician must be familiar with the variety available so that he can choose the device that suits the patient's needs. Teaching and supervising the method of inhalation is important. The metered-dose inhaler is still the most commonly prescribed inhalation system, but powder inhalers are now used by an increasing number of patients.
