The Three Types Of Inhalers For Asthma?
Inhalers are used to treat asthma by delivering medication directly into the lungs. There are three primary types of inhalers and two different ways in which each inhaler can be used. The severity of the asthma as well as the lifestyle of an individual can help to determine which inhaler is actually the best for daily use. Not all people who have asthma require an inhaler to live normally. There are also individuals with severe asthma who do not respond to the standard dosages that are used in inhalers. The most commonly seen type of inhaler for asthma is known as a metered dose inhaler (MDI). This is a device that is used to direct medication from a small aerosol canister directly into the mouth and lungs. The amount that is released is controlled by a small valve. Patients breathe in deeply when the medication is sprayed to deliver it to the lungs. These devices are small and very convenient to use and carry. A dry powder inhaler accepts a small capsule or other sealed medication cartridge. This inhaler requires that the user press down to release the powdered medication into the device. The user then breathes in deeply so that the medication moves directly into the airways where it can be absorbed. This type of inhaler causes some people with asthma difficulty because of the lung power needed to move the medication. A nebulizer is a type of electronic inhaler. The device takes medication and then emits that medication as a very fine mist that is inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece. A nebulizer is very easy to use for patients who have great difficulty breathing or by those who needed extended doses of inhaled medication. Nebulizers tend to be less portable than other types of inhalers. Each type of inhaler can be used in one of two ways. Most are designed to be rescue inhalers. Rescue inhalers deliver medication to the user when symptoms of an asthma attack begin. They provide immediate relief. Preventative inhalers are designed to be used at the beginning or end of each day to stop future asthma attacks. Preventative inhalers can take several hours to work but can prevent symptoms for an entire day.
