Easi-Breathe spacer devices can be used with Salamol inhalers to help improve the delivery of the medication to the lungs. Spacers are plastic devices that attach to the mouthpiece of the inhaler and hold a small amount of medication in a chamber. When you breathe in, the medication is drawn into the chamber and then into your lungs. This can help reduce side effects such as throat irritation, and it can also make it easier to use an inhaler if you have trouble coordinating your breathing with pressing down on the canister. Easi-Breathe spacers are available from most pharmacies.
