• Ease of Use: Simplifies the inhalation process, making it easier for patients who have difficulty coordinating the timing of inhaler actuation and inhalation.
• Better Compliance: Encourages adherence to medication regimens by making inhaler use more effective and straightforward.

Side Effects:

While the Zerostat VT Spacer itself does not have side effects, improper use can lead to potential issues such as:
