Like many, Ive used one on and off since my high school days. Sometimes it feels like it works, sometimes it doesn’t. How do they work?

Asthma puffers, or inhalers, work by delivering medication straight to your lungs. They typically have two types: relievers and preventers. Relievers quickly open up your airways during an asthma attack by relaxing the muscles around them. Preventers, on the other hand, reduce inflammation over time to prevent attacks. If your inhaler sometimes seems to work and sometimes doesn’t, it might be because you’re not using it correctly or your asthma might need better management. It’s worth checking with your doctor if things feel off.
