Inhaling too fast means you are effectively halving the amount of medication that should be reaching your lungs. You’re also at greater risk from unpleasant side effects from the wasted medication.
2Tone is a handy device that trains you to inhale at the correct speed, helping you to control your asthma more effectively. People using 2Tone quickly optimise their inhaler technique and benefit from a better quality of life.
It’s a convoluted pathway to the lungs and medication can get stuck on the way if it’s travelling at the wrong speed. If you breathe in too fast a lot of medication hits the back of the throat rather than getting to where it can do most good - the lungs.
So, you not only reduce the effectiveness of your inhaler, but you also put yourself at a higher risk from side-effects such as thrush, palpitations and headaches. |
