This laboratory-based study mimicking adult inhalation of suspension- and solution-formulated pMDI-delivered medications highlighted the potential for even a short delay, following inhaler actuation without a VHC, to reduce markedly the efficiency of aerosol delivery to the carinal region of the airway, potentially available for lung delivery.

Having a child with asthma can be stressful for parents, especially for financially strapped ones struggling to pay for an arsenal of puffers and pills for their child’s treatment.

Why a September Asthma Peak? 
Poster presented at ERS 2018 in Paris, France
Clinicians should be aware that the output from some VHCs can change with VHC orientation, most likely due to the effect of gravity on less responsive mechanical inhalation valves
