Spacer

We recommend nearly everyone should use a spacer with spray inhalers because 93% of people use their inhalers incorrectly.

Take a look at the scan images below; you can see this for yourself.

With the spacer, the entire lungs are 'lighting' up with the medication.

With no spacer, less than 1% of the medication has reached the lungs ! Most of the medication ends up in the throat instead.

Use a spacer and make your lung healthier and make yourself feel fitter.

 

With Spacer Throat = 9%, With no Spacer Throat = 83%

 

 

Look at this astonishing video of someone using an inhaler without a spacer.

They have coloured the inhaler spray with blue dye to show you where it hits i.e. the back of the throat rather than taking the bend so it does not get deep into the lungs.
