Inhalants are commonly used to administer drugs directly to the lungs. This limits the systemic absorption of a drug (like giving a pill), which will limit side effects. The most common inhalants available is for Asthma. These inhalers help keep the lungs open and keep inflammation down. Other types of inhalants can be used to administer antibiotics.

The most widely used inhalants are beta-adrenergic agonists. These are the inhalers used by those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other obstructive lung diseases. Of course, there are many other types of inhalants, as well.
