If you squirt the contents of the inhaler properly you will not deposit the
mist on your throat or tongue. If you use the inhaler in the wrong way, most of the drugs will not get into the lungs. The drugs will then get absorbed into your body thru the mouth mucosa. This is not good for
the steroid portion of the inhaler.
Always rinse your mouth and spit, after using inhalers.

It is best not to put it in the mouth at all IMO. Esp for steroid types. |
I was given a run through in teh clinic by the medical assistant how to use both the chamber and the metered dose inhaler. Just thinking if the chamber is really necessary. I find uncomfortable using it. It seems to me that them medicines are stuck in chamber (I am not sure of this th ough....).
Thank you for the links Mrs.D
I learned from the link that its okay to inhale more than one to complete the inhalation.
