Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / February 2006Q: Using a volumiser?
After switching to Brycanol & Symbicort, I am not back on Ventolin and Becotide inhalers again. Can anybody remind me what the instructions are for using one of those huge clear perspex volumiser things? Eg. If you are taking two puppes, do you put both puffs into it? And how long should you wait before breathing? And how long do you breath for? Thanks - Keith Separate inhales for each puff. Volumisers? We call 'em "Spacers". Thanks - and how long to I wait before sucking in a breath from one after the puff? And also how long do I inhale from it for? Thanks - Keith > Separate inhales for each puff. > > Volumisers? We call 'em "Spacers". How long after the puff before you inhale? Up to you. I start inhaling (from empty lungs) on the puff or shortly after. But you'll notice your volumiser stays misty for a few seconds, so that should be ok, right? They always say to hold it in for ten or twelve seconds. I can't really do that without straining, so I do a little less. Jack |
