Inhaler Therapy for COPD An individualised approach to inhaler selection
Adherence and inhaler satisfaction together predict improved health outcomes for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Assessment of a patient’s co-ordination and inspiratory flow patterns should guide selection of inhaler devices. Adherence and device technique should be assessed regularly and before changing a patient’s therapy. Patients should use only one type of device for all of their inhaled therapies, where possible.
