Is your handheld inhaler the best treatment for your COPD?
Handheld inhalers are generally appropriate for most people with COPD. When starting treatment with an inhaler, a doctor or nurse will usually offer education and training for using that device. But even still—errors using handheld inhalers may be common.
It’s important to take your COPD medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Taking too much may lead to side effects. If you’re concerned that your inhaler may not be working for you, talk to your doctor.
