Very informative. Prescribed my very first inhaler after 50+ years due to having a respiratory infection. Had no clue how to use it until I watched this video.
This is a really good video, I didn't know that was how an inhaler is supposed to be used until I came upon seeing this video. Some persons, of not many persons, like myself have been using the inhaler the wrong way. So, this is an excellent and interesting way to go. Thanks very much.
Thank you!!! Literally a lifesaver! I dont understand why we have to see videos on this but this has been the way I learned. My Dr. Just said take two puffs. NOTHING ELSE! NO SHAKE, NO RINSE, NO HOLD YOUR BREATH! I'm absolutely new at this. Thank you for teaching me the correct way of doing things. Even though Ive had to watch all your videos. They are so helpful.
Thank you for your help am about to start using my inhaler I’ve had them in past but not used them correctly and never bothered about them until now doctor told me to use this and find a video on TH-cam and I have found you …. So thank you my friend much appreciated your help …. I have subscribed to your channel…. Respect from somewhere in Scotland lol 👍🏻
Thanks I just had a very bad asthma attack, my inhaler wasn't working, didn't know why till I ask myself..Im I using it the right way?? I was not!! I look up for your video & this was a lifesaver.
Hello I greatly appreciate you demonstrating how to use an inhaler. I got my first inhaler today and realized that I was using it incorrectly. Very well explained.
Unfortunately, this is not the correct way to use an pMDI inhaler. Never take an aerosol directly into your mouth. A valved holding chamber (VHC) should be always used when pMDI is used. Without the VHC most of the drug will be deposited on the tongue and throat and will never reach the lungs. Please do not use this technique. As it is stated in the guidelines “for pMDIs, use of a spacer improves delivery and (with ICS) reduces the potential for side-effects” (REF: ginasthma.org/gina-reports/).
Thank you I just quit smoking and i currently having a panic attack which I assume is asthma attack issues I have had for a while but with me quitting the smoking cold Turkey my body has basically gone to war with me lol ido understand these attacks via helping families and friends over year just wanted to make sure blue is for this moment
After several usages, the inhaler will clog and not work. You have to take it apart, pull out the cylinder and run warm water into the holder in both ends and let it dry. Then prime it again before the next use.
Well.when I'm using my inhaler its literally got into my tongue.I don't know whether I'm using in the right way or not.This is the first time I'm using my inhaler for weazing
@@hanac5586 I have a new inhaler since the time I wrote the comment, never had to use it, so next time I have to use it I need to shake it? Are you 100% sure? All people say different things :( I don't know what it is now :(
@@X320riginal at least if the inhaler looks like the one in the video you have to shake it, quoting him; 'to make it more homogeneous' :d Usually the bottle has something like "shake me" on it if you have to do it.
It really shouldn't, perhaps see if you are synchronizing your breath in with the moment you are triggering the spray or maybe if you are breathing deep enough. Hope the video helps demonstrate the steps

Even as an adult I still need a spacer as I can barely holdi it in 4-6second...also just to point out yo don’t swallow like when yourhaving a drink you breathe in just like air if that makes sense for
How quick should my blue inhaler take to work cos sometimes I have to do it 4-6 times before it helps..I also have brown inhaler ,pink an white one and a purple one
i would suggest to check the inhaler technique next time you see your doctor and nurse, sometimes it can be hard even with a spacer and maybe you're not getting the full dose (and that's why you need more puffs)
I’m 49 and I still use a spacer. Once the particles are in the spacer there is no rush to get it into your lungs. The particles aren’t going anywhere as they cling to the spacer. I may then have 4/5 slow intense puffs and works a treat. Do this with both my salbutamol and Trimbow inhalers.
I used it incorrectly too because I previously breathe using my nose, but when I tried to inhale it using my mouth just like sipping or sucking the mist, then it becomes more effective.
usually people take 2 puffs one after the other for relief. If no effect is noted can be repeated after about 15 minutes. but if no effect and having a severe asthma attack i would contact medical help
My side effects from the rescue inhaler is having some mild tremors in my hands and being lightheaded. Def not driving after taking it. If you get an attack while driving, I suggest to pull over, take the medication and call someone to pick you up (if possible).

On Sept 11 I went and got a flu shot and after that I noticed I was starting to cough as time went on it got worse so today I went to urgent Care and told me to use the inhaler for 10 days does this mean I have asthma now 🤔🤔
I was put on breztri and ventolin this year. All this started after I had a heart ❤️ attack and had covid twice. Plus I go to a Pulmonary Specialist. I will keep you in my prayers, IN JESUS NAME 🙏🏼
For the first timers don't worry if you feel anxious after. Just breathe through it it will subside in maybe 10-15 mins after. It's what always happens to me after I take my two doses. Some like the "high" feeling but I don't. It WILL go away shortly so just remind yourself it's the medication and your body is just being anxious over the drug you are fine it IS to be expected.
Thank-you for these valuable videos. So important to check our techniques. Breathlessness is such a terrifying feeling. Question for the Doctor: Can you eat or drink immediately after using the inhaler or is there a waiting period? Thank-you
Sure keep one on hand just for security safe. But proper use is it’s use with a volume spacer. To make sure that you get the desired amount of Sububutimol . It’s also another way to increase your ability to get the air into your airways with sufficient amount’s to expand your lungs sufficiently to help open up your airways to allow for the medication to work better. Even taking and holding your breath before and after can help expand your lungs capacity.?!!!

I'm going to tell you what to do so you don't have to watch this whole video. Blow out all the air you can put the inhaler to your lips and then push the button inhale at the same time and then hold your breath for 5 seconds blow it out slowly wait 5 minutes if it doesn't work do it again but only use it twice
I just got my first ventolin after a bad RSV infection. I've been using it for a few weeks and I still cough and have a very tight chest even Ive been doing it like your instruction. Maybe I should ask for a new medication.
Very informative.
Prescribed my very first inhaler after 50+ years due to having a respiratory infection. Had no clue how to use it until I watched this video.
Best video on how to use the puffer. Much better than other ones I saw before I used mine and end up vomiting. Wish I saw this video sooner!
got my first inhaler today. thank you a lot for making it seem simple to use, I was a bit worried beforehand but now I'm not at all!

I went to the doctor and he didn’t showed me how to use it correctly so thanks a lot for this video! 🥰
I use both Albuterol and Beclomethasone inhalers. This is the most helpful of the how to use videos I've seen on TH-cam. Many thanks ❤️!!
My doc suggested me albuterol . How are you feeling now and did it help?

The instructions for Ventolin state that one should inhale slowly (3-5 seconds). Not quickly (1 second) as shown here.
I just got my inhaler yesterday; I did use it but wrong way . Thanks a lot I know how to use correctly now. Thanks again 👍

sometimes just takes some practice to get the technique right
Thanks a lot I was wondering whether its shaken or not and how to handle it properly
Do I have to shake it or not?

Sorry but I didn't understand. Do you give it a puff when it's in your mouth and you take the breath for 10 secs? Cause I didn't see you do that
Where can I buy ventolin salbutamol spray? Thank in advance.
Thank you for this video,am a student,I have learnt alot
What does it mean if it looks like smoke coming out your mouth?
Mist is cominf at the upper part of my canister,what do i do
Is it okay that when i breath out after using it, there's a smoke coming out? Thanks.
It really shouldn't, perhaps see if you are synchronizing your breath in with the moment you are triggering the spray or maybe if you are breathing deep enough. Hope the video helps demonstrate the steps
@@StefanCristianStanel how many puffs can you take?
Good day sir..how to used it .after eating or before eatin and how many times.thank you for this video
Your English sucks
Excellent explaining, nice video.
Hi, inhale from the nose or mouth while pressing the inhaler?
Amazing delivery. Thank you so much. This is really helpful.

@@StefanCristianStanelplease mist is coming out from my canister so I inhale,what do I do
Thank you so much you explained very well compared to what I see in a youtube video.
So we need to inhale using mouth not nose?
Thanks for my brother.
Thank u for guiding us how to use inhaler
Sir I brought yesterday but when I pushed first time medicine released but now medicine is not released when I pushed it. What I do
Thanks finally understand how to do it correctly cause of this video.
The trick is to start breathing in before pressing the button or the medication will just hit the back of your throat.
Exactly, great tip
Very happy it helped you!

inhale and exhale with mouth or nose?
hi just bought it but it goes on my toungue and burns is this normal ?
It can give you a slight burning sensation but try to take it as correctly as possible and this should get better as you're inhaling more of it
@@StefanCristianStanel thank u 🙏🙏
Thanks so much for the video it's really helpful
Is it a kind of reliever?
I don't know how to use inhaler help me
Thank you 😊 well explained 🔥lv frm India🙏
I don't understand why this is so hard, I don't know how to inhale lol. I get most of the stuff on my tongue.
I used it incorrectly too because I previously breathe using my nose, but when I tried to inhale it using my mouth just like sipping or sucking the mist, then it becomes more effective.
