tudies have demonstrated that 15% - 85% of patients do not have proper technique when using their inhalers. This means that people with asthma may not be getting the actual dose of medication that was prescribed for them. The ACE ®Holding Chamber helps reduce an asthmatic's dependency on technique, by reducing the need for coordination. This is accomplished through a valved mouthpiece and a precision calibrated whistle. The whistle helps ensure that the user breathe in at an optimal rate, and therefore maximize the efficiency of their inhalers. The holding chamber also helps reduce the bad taste often associated with certain medications. The ACE ®is available by prescription from your health care professional.
