Inhalation devices for asthma. Choosing the right one could make all the difference.
Currently, no single inhaler satisfies the needs of all patients. When choosing an inhaler, a patient's competence in using it and preference for one over another are important factors. Patients will be more compliant if they have confidence in their inhalers. Successful inhalation therapy depends not only on choosing the correct drug and device, but also on providing excellent instruction on how to use the inhaler.
