Videos to demonstrate how to use your inhaler correctly and step by step checklists
When diagnosed with Asthma, COPD or another respiratory condition, an inhaler may be prescribed. This section will help patients and healthcare professionals with the correct inhaler technique. Inhalers will be a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) or Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI), so the most important action depending on which inhaler that has been prescribed is whether you breathe in slowly and deeply; or strongly and deeply.
The following will take you to the videos and checklists.
Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI): Breathe in slowly and deeply
The In-check is a device for measuring inspiratory (breathing in) flow.
GPs, Asthma nurses or pharmacist may use it as a simple way to monitor a patient inspiratory flow rates and to assess their technique for using an inhaler.
