What is Inhaler?
Several different kinds of asthma medicines are taken using an inhaler. Inhalers usually fall into two types: aerosol inhalers and dry-powder inhalers. The former is also called pressurized metered dose inhaler, or even commonly called as puffers. The respiratory patient can absorb certain pre-measured amount of asthma medication when the inhaler is squeezed at a time. The latter one, as its name suggests, delivers the medicine in dry power form into the patient’s lungs. Some inhaler devices come with built-in counters that monitor the number of doses a person has taken and how many doses the device has left. This will help a more accurate and more effective treatment for asthma. How the inhaler and spacer work together?

For babies, a face mask will be used to inhale the medication deposited in the spacer whereas older children can use a mouthpiece. Wi
