Explanation

An inhaler is a small handheld device that delivers medicine directly into a person's lungs. It is often used by people who have conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The medicine in the inhaler is in a mist or aerosol form, which the person breathes in, allowing it to quickly reach the airways and lungs. This can help to relieve symptoms such as breathlessness, coughing, and wheezing.
