title: [Inhalation devices used in combination therapy in chronic airway disease].
abstract: New fixed combinations of long acting β2-agonists and anti-muscarinic agents have been launched in the therapy of chronic obstructive airway disease. The clinical benefit of the different drug combinations appears to be comparable. Differences however exist in the performance of the respective device. Proper training and repeated patient education is paramount for efficient therapy and appears to be more important than the choice of the drug itself.
