Drive Airial MDI Holding Chamber

Inhalers are most effective when used in with a spacer, or aerosol-holding chamber.
 

The contents of an inhaler are under pressure and are released quickly, making it difficult to properly inhale the particles. The spacer chamber suspends these particles until you or your child breathes in, making it easier to get the medication into the lungs.
 

• This helps get more medicine into the airways and lungs
• Spacer chambers can keep particles from collecting in your mouth or tongue, lessening side effects from medications.
• Helps lessen the risk of side effects such as thrush or hoarseness
• These devices are recommended for children who have trouble coordinating breathing and using an inhaler the way they should, especially those younger than 5 or 6.
• Adults should also use a spacer chamber, especially if they have problems using an HFA.
   

A spacer/chamber holds the puff from the MDI in a tube or “chamber” for a few seconds, so that you don’t have to both breathe in AND spray the MDI exactly at the same time. This helps get more medicine into your lungs and lessens the risk of side effects (such as hoarseness or thrush when inhaling corticosteroids).
