[Inhalation devices].
Currently available devices allow the administration by inhalation of many active drugs directly into the bronchial tree, and with minimal side effects. The choice of the device depends first on the properties of the drug and the ability of the patient to use it correctly. Economical and ecological considerations as well as the current practice of the prescribing doctor play also a role. Whatever the system, the instruction and training of the user must be done carefully and controlled regularly.
