Most inhaled asthma medications come in containers called metered-dose inhalers, or MDIs. However, they can be a little tricky, at first. | | • | How To Use A Dry Powder Inhaler

To make sure that inhaled asthma medication reaches your airways -- not just the back of your throat -- your doctor may recommend attaching a spacer, a simple device that makes it easier to use a metered-dose inhaler. | | • | How To Use A Nebulizer
