Inhaled therapy is one of the most effective ways to deliver medicines directly into the lungs. It is widely used for asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, and other respiratory diseases because it works quickly and with fewer side effects than oral medicines.
A nebuliser is a device that turns liquid medicine into a fine mist, which can be inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece. It is often used in hospitals, clinics, and at home for patients who have difficulty using inhalers.
A DPI delivers medicine in the form of a dry powder. It is breath-activated, meaning the medicine is released when you take a deep, quick breath in.
An MDI delivers medicine in a fine spray using a propellant gas. It requires proper hand-breath coordination.
It depends on the patient’s age, ability to use the device, severity of disease, and doctor’s advice. Nebulisers are often used in acute situations, while DPI and MDI are preferred for daily maintenance.
Yes, if using corticosteroid inhalers, rinse your mouth to prevent oral thrush.
No, to prevent infections, each patient should use their own device.
Nebulisers should be washed after each use. Inhalers should be wiped regularly, and spacers should be cleaned weekly.
