A metered-dose inhaler (MDI)<\/strong>\u00a0consists of a pressurized medication canister in a plastic case with a mouthpiece. The Aerochamber consists of a plastic tube with a mouthpiece and a valve to control the amount of mist, along with a soft, closed end to hold the MDI. Before using the chamber, you need a mask size that fits your face. For elderly patients, it is recommended that the mask covers the face during use.<\/p>\n

Doctors encourage using the chamber with a mouthpiece for patients over 4 years old who can be trained to use it. You need to follow the instructions provided by your treating physician.<\/span><\/p>\n
