Asthma medication that is inhaled is generally inhaled through a metered dose inhaler or a dry powder device. The metered dose inhaler can be used with or without a spacer. The majority of people with asthma refer to their inhalers as ‘puffers’. There is also another type of inhaler called a nebuliser. This inhaler uses pressurised air which is pumped into a liquid medication to change into a fine vapour. That is then inhaled. This inhaler is normally prescribed only for people with life-threatening asthma.
