What is a Spacer — and Why Does It Matter?
If your child uses an inhaler, a spacer could make all the difference in how effective their treatment is.
What’s a spacer?
A spacer is a medical device that attaches to a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). It holds the medication for a moment after it’s released, giving your child time to inhale it properly.
Why are they useful?
• They help more medicine reach the lungs instead of the back of the throat
• They reduce side effects like sore throat or hoarseness
• They make inhalers easier to use — especially for children
• They’re recommended by doctors for anyone who has trouble with inhaler technique
How do they work?
The spacer creates a holding chamber for the medication. Instead of needing to time the puff and breath perfectly, your child can breathe in at their own pace. It’s a small tool that leads to big improvements in asthma care!
