Has anyone ever checked whether you are using your inhaler correctly?

Hi everyone 💙

When you live with COPD, using an inhaler can quickly become part of your everyday routine.

But using an inhaler correctly is not always as simple as it looks.

Different devices require different techniques. Some depend on how strongly you breathe in, while others require good coordination or enough hand strength to use them properly.

Over time, it can be easy to assume your technique is correct simply because nobody has told you otherwise.

Some people only discover much later that a small adjustment to their inhaler technique can make the device easier to use or help them feel more confident about their treatment.

💬 We’d love to hear about your experience:

• When was the last time a healthcare professional watched you use your inhaler?
• Have you ever been shown a different or better technique after using an inhaler for a long time?
• Do you find certain inhaler devices easier to use than others?
• Do arthritis, weak hands or breathlessness make using your inhaler more difficult?

If you use COPD inhalers, tell us what your experience has been like. A simple tip from another member may encourage someone to speak to their respiratory nurse, GP or pharmacist. 💙
