Are inhalers harmful?
Though inhalers can be life saving devices for those who suffer from conditions such as asthma, incorrect use of them can be dangerous. Without proper education about the use of inhalers, asthmatics can use them incorrectly causing them to receive a lower dosage or no dosage of their medication, or they could overuse their inhalers and receive too much medication. When asthma symptoms flare up and a patient experiences wheezing, shortness of breath, and/or coughing they usually use a short acting beta agonist which is a bronchodilator that gives quick relief from these symptoms. When used too often, however, this can cause inhaler overdose and it can be a sign that the patient is lacking asthma control. They should see a healthcare provider for advice about better asthma management because they may need to be a prescribed a controller inhaler such as a long acting beta agonist, an inhaled corticosteroid, or a combination of the two. When taken regularly, these can provide long-term asthma relief and minimize the use of a rescue inhaler, but if they are not taken as prescribed they can cause deterioration in a patient’s health and can make asthma symptoms increase rapidly.
