Spacer devices or dry powder inhalers (DPIs) with simpler mechanisms may be more suitable for younger children than conventional
metered-
dose inhalers (MDIs), which may be difficult for them to use.
When picking out an inhaler, think about how much it will cost, how portable it is, and how easy it is to use. While combination inhalers are convenient for some, others may find that two distinct devices are necessary for both short-term relief and long-term management.
