Inhalers



I hope nobody gets confuse between a proper inhaler device delivering short-acting bronchodilators, long acting bronchodilators or a combination long acting as well as steroids. A Vicks inhaler would presumably deliver Vicks right down the airway to the receptors with zero menthol affinity.

In the last few years it has been an exciting time from the respiratory world point of view, we saw new inhaler devices being developed as well as new bronchodilators with promising effects for our patients. It is also confusing. I find myself having to check the dosage and frequency or the new inhalers so I'm wondering how the patients will cope.
