Which is the best inhaler?

  • Опубликовано: 7 апр 2021
  • In this video I discuss about choosing an inhaler which is adapted to each patient. There are many inhalers for asthma and COPD available, however some people find some devices hard to use and therefore have poor inhaler technique. This results in suboptimal benefits despite using the newest inhalers available.
    Having the right inhaler for each patient is more important than having the best inhaler.

    Hello Doctor and thank-you 🙌 for the informative content!
    What are differentiating efficacy outcome factors when beclomethasone dipropionate is administered via nasal vs oral inhalation?
    Is it advantageous to shake the medicine containing canister and wipe orifice nozzle before each spray is administered?

    I have been prescribed multiple inhalers both rescue and maintenance. To start with the abuterol inhalers don't work for me at all. Neither did the normal rescue inhalers. Eventually I tried the trelegy inhalers and they worked but not the way you're supposed to use them. If I used them daily they really didn't help much but if I used them as a rescue inhaler they worked pretty well. My doctor decided a nebulizer would be more appropriate. Still doesn't work with albuterol but the trelegy ampules in the nebulizer will stop an asthma attack in minutes.

    Hello Dr. Stanel,
    Thank you so much for these videos. It is clear how much you care for people.
    My question is somewhat simple I hope… I am currently on Breo, but I find that when I take it, I feel a little anxious and my heart speeds up for almost the whole day, and even part of the day after. I tried it again yesterday and didn’t particularly enjoy it, so I decided not to take it today. However, I felt pretty crappy today. Is there another medication out there without the jittery and anxious side effects? I take it for allergenic asthma. Thank you again. 🙏

    I've always used the Ventolin blue inhaler (via a spacer with a mask) as a reliver & a Fluitiform inhaler as a preventer. I was recently switched to the fostair inhaler, initially to replace the fluitiform & then to use as both a reliver & preventer (instead of the blue one). I have been struggling with it a lot. I'm meant to take 1 puff in the Am & PM (instead of x2) & use it inbetween as needed. I've now been switched to the fostair Nextinhaler (which can't be used with a spacer). I'm struggling even more and it doesn't seem as good as the ventolin when using as a reliver when im wheezy. I'm struggling a lot to get used to having to put my lips around it and with how hard a breath you have to take to get it in. I feel like im ending up with powder in my mouth. Im bed bound & and my head cant be raised which complicates things as well I think, and i can't have my mouth swished round with water afterwards (due to the choking risk due to my dispashia). Advice would be greatly appreciated. Any tips on using the Foastair nextair? I feel like i cant do a deep / quick enough breath in with it especially after its clicked. I struggle to hold it in afterwards too.

      Do you mean you have the Pink Fostair 100/6 micrograms? I use this one with a spacer. AirChamber. I use two puffs which is much easier. One puff using the chamber then you inhale slowly 3 times. Then you press again and inhale slowly 3 times. When you breath out you do that through your nose. I hope you can understand me.

      @Jiminphoria 2 года назад

      @@starflower9015 Yes. I was originally on the aerosol version of it too with my areochamber spacer, same as you, but they switched me to the powder version of it called the Fostair NEXThaler, which is the one I'm struggling greatly with. They said it's 'better for the environment' than the aerosol version. You have to breath it in very quick / deeply, instead of like with a areochamber where you can take slower breaths in as it can't be used with a spacer. I end up with powder in my mouth and many more side effects than I had with the other version of it. My doctor has finally agreed after 2 months of struggling to switch me back to the aerosol one though, thank god.

      @@thatgirlthatsme It's because corticosteroids, including ones that come in powder or aerosol form i.e. for asthma, if you don't rinse and end up with powder or the aerosol in your mouth or the back of your throat it can cause a hoarse voice (+ if that's happening it means the correct dose is not getting all in your lungs) and mainly as it is a steroid it "reduces" or better turns down the response of a part of your immune system response, locally, promoting relatively unharmful microorganisms from thriving and since the immune system can't keep a control of it due to the nature of the steroid oral thrush commonly caused by Candida albicans, can occur.

      I would first recommend discussing the matter with your doctor for advice which applies to you. But would think about 1) is the inhaler appropriate for your condition (i.e. Do you understand your diagnosis and why the inhaler was given in the first place?) 2) are you using it correctly? 3) would you need a second inhaler? - for asthma for example there is often need for a controller inhaler which is taken regularly (but not the blue one/ventolin).

    This is really simple and calming, but you can’t forget there are 4 main classes of drugs for COPD and asthma. Everyone with Asthma should have a rescue inhaler which is a bronco dialator or beta antoginst like albuterol as the key drug. But for each of these drug families (saba, Laba, lama and inhaled steroids) there are lots of different drugs all with side effects. You will need to work with your doctor to pick the best for you

    I have listened to three videos now. My first guess is that your mother tongue is Romanian. You sound like a pastor from there who leads a food distribution program for the poor in Canada. You do not speak a Slavic language but you are from Eastern or S.E
    Europe. So, that leaves only one language. It is not so much your slight accent as your manner of speaking.
