Background
Every inhaler is different, if a patient has used an inhaler in the past; the technique for a new inhaler might not be the same. Autohaler can be very useful to people who have trouble with timing and coordination that is needed to use other MDI inhalers, because you only need to be able to seal your lips around the mouthpiece and breathe in Slowly and Deeply. But many people do not use them the right way. If you use your Autohaler incorrectly, then less medicine gets to your lungs proving ineffective control.
How to Use Inhaler
The Autohaler is breath activated. This means when you inhale, the Autohaler automatically releases a mist of medication. When inhaled correctly, the medication has a better chance to reach the small airways. This increases the medication's effectiveness.
Remembering each and every step to use the inhaler correctly can be a little difficult. Educating yourself to use the inhaler correctly, significantly improves the delivery of medicine. How to Use Inhaler app demonstrates correct inhaler technique in a step by step manner using video and audio.
