inhaler

 What is an inhaler?

An inhaler is a type of device used for the normal breathing of the human respiratory system. Medicines are delivered to the lungs through this device. Which allows drugs to be distributed and absorbed in the lungs. Oral medications reduce the side effects as well as give the ability to treat specific parts of the body.

Types of inhalers

Inhaler devices can be broadly classified into 4 categories.

1. Pressure meter dose (PMDIs): Pressure meter dose inhalers are commonly known as pump inhalers. These are powdered and deliver a certain amount of medicine to the lungs in the form of an aerosol spray.

2. Dry powder (DPIs): These inhalers provide medicine in the form of dried powder. Dry powder is a respiratory device from which the medicine is spread in the lungs and made suitable for breathing. These methods are easy to use because they do not require driver and coordination.

3. Breathing inhalers (BAIs): This method is an improved version of the pressure meter dose. It consists of a combination of dry powder and pressure meter dose.

4. Nebulizer: A nebulizer is a type of liquid medicine that converts to a suitable aerosol droplet and makes it suitable for inhalers. Nebulizer adjustment is not required. It can be applied in children with asthma, the elderly and patients of all ages.

Advantages of using inhaler:

People with asthma or allergies may have difficulty breathing normally. All patients need to use an inhaler to breathe and recover faster. Patient chest pain is relieved by applying inhaler. Needless to say, for allergy and asthma patients it is always advisable to keep an inhaler with you.
