Inhaled therapies form the cornerstone for treatment of patients with asthma and COPD. The four different delivery systems -- pressurized metered-dose inhalers, slow mist inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and nebulizers - are unique in design and require distinct inhalational instructions for correct use. This book provides current information about inhalation devices, includes their advantages and disadvantages, with guidance for optimal techniques of use. It emphasizes appropriate selection of inhalation devices based on patient and health care professional factors and device attributes that allow selection of the right medication at the right time for the right patient.
