adherence to inhalation therapy

Adherence to inhalation therapy means consistently using your inhaler as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It's important because regular use helps control respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD, reducing symptoms, preventing attacks, and improving quality of life. Proper adherence involves understanding when and how to use your inhaler correctly, taking the medication at set times, and not skipping doses. Challenges like forgetfulness or misunderstanding instructions can affect adherence. Staying committed to your prescribed routine and discussing any concerns with your doctor can improve treatment effectiveness and help manage your condition effectively.
