There are two main types of inhalers used for asthma treatment: rescue inhalers and controller inhalers. Rescue inhalers contain short-acting bronchodilators that quickly open up airways during an asthma attack. Controller inhalers contain long-acting bronchodilators, steroids, or a combination of both, which help prevent asthma symptoms from occurring in the first place.

Asthma inhalers

Others contain two medications. Your doctor might give you: A metered-dose inhaler, which uses a small aerosol canister to push out a short burst of medication through a plastic mouthpiece. A dry powder inhaler, which releases the medicine only when you take a deep breath.

Certainly! There are different types of inhalers used for asthma treatment. The most common types include metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) that deliver medication through a propellant, dry powder inhalers (DPIs) that deliver medication in powder form, and nebulizers that convert liquid medication into a fine mist for inhalation.

The main types of inhalers for asthma are:

  • Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) deliver measured doses of medication
  • Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) deliver a dry powder medication
  • Soft mist inhalers (SMIs) deliver a fine mist of medication
  • Nebulizers deliver medication in a mist form through a mask or mouthpiece.
