My inhaler does not work? Most common reason inhalers fail to work is, patient does know how to take inhalers properly or doctor has failed to explain inhaler use to patients. Please meet your doctor and ask for demonstration regarding inhaler use. Doctors who are prescribing inhalers, must make sure that inhalers device is optimal for given patient. Another common reason is that patients don’t take medication regularly and stop taking it as soon as they have slight symptomatic improvement. proper technique of taking inhalers and adequate adherence to your inhaled medication is key to the success of inhaled medication.
Excellent tutorial videos are available on the youtube which demonstrates the use of various inhaler devices. Most inhalers packaging would have a QR code which is linked to these videos. patients should make good use of it.
