Inhalers are part of a therapeutic plan to control the symptoms of respiratory diseases and improve the quality of life of patients. In addition to asthma, inhalers are also used to treat other respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, and other respiratory diseases of inhalers, depending on the mode of operation and the type of medicine they contain.
Metered-dose inhalers are the most common type of inhaler, which contain medicine in the form of a spray or aerosol, which the patient inhales through a mouthpiece. This type of inhaler is often used to treat asthma and other respiratory diseases. Pulse inhalers work with the help of compressed air or gas, which triggers the release of the medicine in the form of a fine spray. They can be used to relieve asthma symptoms and airway obstruction quickly. Nebulizers convert liquid medicine into an aerosol or mist, which is then inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece. They can be used to give larger doses of medicine to patients who have difficulty using other types of inhalers, such as young children or the elderly. Ultrasonic inhalers use ultrasonic waves to disperse the medicine in the form of microparticles, which the patient then inhales. They are less noisy and usually more effective at spraying medicine than nebulizers.
