Inhale safely
Get to know the individual steps for using your inhaler in a clear and practical way.
Inhaler training
Instruction in the correct inhalation technique
The correct inhalation technique is an important part of the prescribed therapy. Even small mistakes in use can mean that the medicine does not reach the place where it is meant to work.
In our inhaler training we show you step by step how to use your inhaler correctly – for example a metered-dose inhaler (spray) or a dry powder inhaler. It is therefore about your technique, not about nebuliser devices such as the Pari Boy. Together we practise the individual steps and answer your personal questions – clearly, individually and in a calm atmosphere.
