What is an "inhaler"?
An inhaler is a device used to deliver medication directly into the lungs. It typically includes a small container filled with medicine that, when used, releases a specific dose of medication in the form of a mist or spray. Inhalers are commonly used to treat breathing problems such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They allow medication to reach the lungs quickly, providing relief from symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing.
