Inhaler devices for use in asthma care.
A patient's ability to use an asthma inhaler correctly will depend on his or her age and manual dexterity. An up-to-date knowledge of the range of inhalers available on the market, and their advantages and disadvantages, will aid selection. Patients should be involved in the selection process as this will encourage compliance.
