inhaler technique training

Inhaler technique training involves teaching you how to properly use your inhaler so you receive the correct amount of medication. This includes steps like shaking the inhaler, breathing out fully before placing it in your mouth, inhaling slowly and deeply while activating the inhaler, holding your breath for about 10 seconds, and then exhaling gently. Proper technique ensures the medicine reaches your lungs effectively, providing better symptom relief and reducing side effects. Healthcare providers often demonstrate and watch your technique, offering tips and corrections as needed to ensure you're using the inhaler correctly.
