How to Use a Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI)
Many bronchodilators and anti-inflammatories come
as an inhaler. Breathing in the medicine through the
inhaler sends it directly to your airways and lungs.
How well this medicine reaches your lungs depends
on using the inhaler correctly.
Always breathe in the medicine slowly when using
this type of inhaler, so that it can go deep into your
ungs. Hold the medicine in for 10 seconds to allow it to settle into your lungs.
