Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah, I was wondering that, too. I really don't see how it would work. 2 out of my 3 inhalers are automatic, so definitely wouldn't work like that! Jenn Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me. But with the force it comes out how would the meds actually get into thelungs?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The spacer does go in the mouth. If my spacer is missing, I leave a small space between my mouth and the puffer. Again, this was witht he old format being phased out next week. The new puffers don't have the same amount of push. Check with your nurse or the pharmacist. I am also a HUGE advocate for reading those inserts that come with the meds. It may offer more information on how to use the puffer.
