    Are you using a spacer when using your inhaler? 

    With just using the inhaler, the med is quickly shooting to the back of your mouth. Very lilttle is being inhaled into the lungs.

    With a spacer, the inhaler opening in at one end and an opening for your mouth is at the other of this tube chamber. You press the inhaler and the mist is in the chamber where you can inhale it into your lungs. Much more med is drawn into the lungs and not at the back of your throat.

    With cordisone inhaler, I was told, to rinse your mouth after using, other wise I could get thrush.
