Thank you. No one ever told me I could leave the cap on and then inhale instead of trying to do it all at the same time.

I just got another chamber after my dog chew it lol she fine dont worry but dang i didn’t know the 3 to 5 minutes peak time good to know and i didn’t not know you could just spray the meds in the camber when the caps is on those 2 tips well save me from a severe asthma attack that i been having lately trying to control it again with the blue and red combo from my doctor thank you for the additional information to making life easier for me
Hello, I am so happy to hear that your dog is ok and also that this video help you!
I ordered one off of amazon, and did not need a prescription
That’s so good, I’m glad they are making them available to everyone now! Have you found it helpful?
Hi, Doesn't the medicine stick to the chamber walls?
Hi Nick, it’s possible that a small amount may stick but if done properly you will get almost all of it into your lungs. If you need any instructions, please schedule a free consultation with David. Here’s the link: calendly.com/pulmonaryrehab
My question too.
Can you use the same spacer for 2 different inhalers? Or do I have to use a clean spacer for another inhaler?
It depends on the type of medications. Feel free to schedule a FREE Zoom call so we can discuss this further or if you need any help with breathing, posture, exercises and/or chronic pain. Here's the link: calendly.com/pulmonaryrehab/15min
I have been told that I don't need a spacer for my inhaler.
Hello, thank you for your comment! A spacer isn’t required for everyone. It helps people who have difficulty coordinating the timing or physical actuation of the inhaler. Do you use your inhaler easily and effectively? If so you may not need the spacer. This video explains that: th-cam.com/video/yPiPg1VSDuA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s--5FmyA38MQNihg
Thank you. My spacer did not come with a cap for the mouth piece, for either end. Is it incomplete? I guess keep it in a zip bag.
That's odd, maybe ask the supplier for a new one with a cap. Yes, you want it covered to prevent dust and dirt from getting inside so in a zip bag should be good for now.
If i have to inhale twice, what time interval should i wait before inhaling the second one. How many times can i wash the spacer, and how long should i wait for it to dry up before using it.
Great questions! If you need to take a second puff with your MDI spacer, wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute before inhaling again. This allows the medication to work better by opening your airways for the next dose. As for cleaning the spacer, you should wash it at least once a week or whenever it gets dirty. After washing, let it air dry completely before using it again, which might take several hours. Using a wet spacer can affect how the medication is delivered, so it’s a good idea to have a backup spacer ready 😊
Thank you
Thanks for making these videos. I have a dry inhaler Air duo can't use a spacer. I take a deep breath bend over and breath out when I am coming up breath in inhaler is this incorrect?
Hello, great question! Try to sit or stand in a relaxed position with a straight body and level chin. Blow out gently to empty your lungs, hold your breath for 1-2 seconds then simultaneously breathe in while inhaling the medication. Bending over can restrict your breathing 😮💨
Feel free to schedule a complimentary consultation and I’ll show you in more detail 😊

Does anyone breath back into the spacer then rebreath it? I was told you could do that to rebreath the med
Hello, great question! There’s usually a one way valve that allows you to breathe in but not out with it. It’s designed to keep the medication in the spacer until you take the next dose (inhalation). I hope this helps 😊
Should i use a spacer with my Qvar ?
Usually a spacer isn’t used with Qvar. If you feel as if you’re not doing it correctly or not getting the medication into your lungs properly just schedule a free consultation. We can troubleshoot and I’ll help you 😊

Why did my spacer come with a plastic mask? Am i supposed to use that too?
Some people find it helpful to use a mask and it's also used for children. Feel free to schedule a FREE Zoom call to discuss this further or if you need any help with breathing, posture, exercises and/or chronic pain. Here's the link: calendly.com/pulmonaryrehab/15min
How often do you need to wash it out?
Usually it is recommended to clean it once per week.
