Mac-Life Aerosol Space

Product Description

Product Name: Mac-Life Aerosol Space

Product Form: Aerosol

Pack Size: 1's

Manufactured By: Macter International

Used For:

• Asthma: Improves the delivery of inhaled medications like bronchodilators and corticosteroids to relieve or prevent symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing).
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps deliver medications for managing COPD symptoms and making breathing easier.
• Other Respiratory Conditions: Can be used in other lung diseases (e.g., bronchitis, emphysema) to ensure medications reach the lungs effectively.
• Children and Elderly Patients: Makes it easier for children, elderly patients, or those who struggle with coordination to use inhalers properly, ensuring more medication reaches the lungs instead of being deposited in the mouth or throat.

Side Effects :

• Common (related to the medication, not the spacer itself):
  • Dry mouth
  • Hoarseness
  • Cough
  • Throat irritation
  • Oral thrush (fungal infection) from steroid inhalers (reduced by using a spacer)
• Serious (but rare):
  • Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) to the medication
  • Palpitations or increased heart rate (with bronchodilators)

The spacer itself typically does not cause side effects but improves the delivery of the medication, potentially reducing side effects like oral thrush.

Precautions:

• Proper Usage: Ensure you are using both the inhaler and spacer correctly to maximize medication delivery. Incorrect use may reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
• Spacer Cleaning: Clean the spacer regularly, typically by washing it with warm, soapy water and letting it air dry. Regular cleaning prevents medication buildup, mold, or bacterial contamination.
• Maintenance: Inspect the spacer for any signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary.
• Allergies: Check for any allergies to the materials used in the spacer or inhaler.
• Inhaler Coordination: A spacer can improve medication delivery for people who struggle to coordinate pressing the inhaler and inhaling at the same time, especially children and older adults.
• Rinse Mouth After Use: If using corticosteroid inhalers, it is recommended to rinse your mouth after each use to prevent oral thrush.

If you’re using a specific Mac-Life brand device, follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper care and usage.
