Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to inhalers:

1. Am I a good candidate for an inhaler?
   
   
2. What type of inhaler do you recommend for me?
   
   
3. Can you show me the proper way to use an inhaler?
   
   
4. Will I have to use an inhaler for the rest of my life?
   
   
5. Will I have to use the inhaler every day?
   
   
6. Will I have to carry the inhaler with me at all times?
   
   
7. How will I know if the inhaler is working or if I am using the device properly?
   
   
8. How will I know when the medication in my inhaler is getting low?
   
   
9. How often should I clean my inhaler? What is the best way to clean it?
   
   
10. My child is having difficult using the inhaler. Would he or she benefit from using a spacer?
