Asthma is a common respiratory disease that proved to be dangerous before. Today’s asthma treatments are extremely safe and effective tailored for each individual suffering from asthma. Main treatments include preventers and relievers. Most asthma treatments are inhaled. A variety of devices called inhalers, which enable one to breathe the medicine in through ones mouth, directly to the lungs. Most of these inhalers are aerosol-based (called puffers) and dry powder inhalers. For puffers, medication is mixed into a liquid and forced under pressure into a small aerosol canister. Once activated, a measured dose of the drug is then released every time the canister is pushed down. Dry powder inhalers come in powder form contained in a capsule. When activated, the capsule breaks and the powder may be inhaled. Good thing pinhole video cameras are not as minute as powders. One may inhale them as well.
