Get helpHow to use puffers, inhalers, and other devices
Doctors usually treat asthma, COPD and other lung diseases with inhaled medicines – medicines you breathe in. These medicines come in different devices. Each kind of inhaled medicine device has its own set of instructions.

It's very important that you know how to use your inhaled medicine, so you get the most from it. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or certified respiratory educator to show you how to use your medicine. Then, ask them to watch you take it, and tell you if you're doing it right.
