    Study Notes

    Inhalers for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

    • Various inhaler types are available for COPD, categorized by their action and combination: SABAs, LAMAs, ICS/LABA combinations, ICS/LAMA/LABA combinations.
    • SABAs (short-acting beta2-agonists) provide quick relief for symptoms. Examples include salbutamol in various inhaler forms (Airomir, Autohaler, Asmol, Ventolin).
    • LAMAs (long-acting muscarinic antagonists) help control symptoms over longer periods. Examples include tiotropium (Spiriva, Braltus).
    • ICS/LABA combinations combine inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta2-agonists to reduce inflammation and improve airflow. Examples include budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort).
    • ICS/LAMA/LABA combinations combine inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, and long-acting beta2-agonists for comprehensive COPD management. Examples include fluticasone/umeclidinium/vilanterol (Trelegy).
    • PMDI (Pressurised metered dose inhaler) inhalers are a type of inhaler.
    • Some inhalers (e.g., Handihaler, Breezhaler, Zonda, and Aerolizer) require a capsule loading, others (e.g., Respimat) use cartridges.

    Inhalers for Asthma and COPD

    • Some inhalers used for asthma are also indicated for COPD, particularly when coexisting with asthma.
    • Green tick on a table indicates those inhalers that can be used together for asthma and COPD.
    • ICS monotherapy is not suitable for COPD without coexisting asthma.
    • Inhaler technique assessment is vital. It should be performed every 6 months or after an exacerbation or treatment change.
    • Correct technique maximizes treatment benefit.
    • Stepwise management of stable COPD is essential.
