Inhalers and Other Medication Delivery Systems
Most asthma medicines are inhaled directly into the breathing tubes using some type of inhaler device. There are different types of inhalers for asthma medicines. By inhaling the medicine into the breathing tubes, the medicine goes to the lungs and very little of it gets into the rest of the body, meaning the risks of side effects are very small.
