Mastering the Correct Inhaler Technique
Are you using your inhaler correctly? Proper technique is key to managing respiratory conditions effectively. Here are some tips to ensure you’re getting the most out of your inhaler:
1. Shake and Prime well : Before using your inhaler, shake it to ensure the medication is properly mixed and release few sprays in air if using for first time or after a gap.
2. Breathe out : Exhale completely to create space in your lungs for the medication.
3. Hold upright : Keep the inhaler in an upright position to ensure the right dose is delivered.
4. Seal lips : Place the mouthpiece between your lips, forming a tight seal to prevent medication from escaping.
5. Inhale slowly : As you press the inhaler, breathe in slowly and deeply to allow the medication to reach deep into your lungs.
6. Hold breath : After inhaling, hold your breath for 5-10 seconds to allow the medication to settle in your airways.
7. Rinse mouth : If your inhaler contains steroids, rinse your mouth afterward to prevent oral thrush.
Remember, practice makes perfect! Mastering your inhaler technique can greatly improve your respiratory health.
