The many advantages of using an inhaler include how portable the medication is, as you can take your inhaler almost anywhere you are going and store it in your purse, pocket, backpack, etc. On top of being portable, it also offers convenience; you will be able to get your recommended dosage for your asthma relief without having to worry about constantly running to the doctors for pill refills or other items. As well, most inhalers now offer a dosage counter, which helps you know if you inhaled the proper dosage each time. A few other benefits include: - Reduced frequency of your asthma attacks - Decreased usage of quick-relief or rescue relief inhalers - Improved lung function - Reduced emergency room visits and hospitalizations for life-threatening asthma attacks
