Asthma is known as chronic disease as there is no permanent treatment for it. Asthma is a disorder in which the airways constrict and swell, causing more mucus to be produced. This can make breathing difficult, resulting in coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) on exhalation, and shortness of breath. Environmental variables such as pollen, animal dander, dust, or smoking are frequently responsible for the onset of asthma. Asthma spacers are empty tubes, generally composed of plastic. On one end, spacer fit into the mouthpiece of inhaler, and on the other end, they fit to a mouthpiece or mask. It assists the patient in getting the most out of the asthma medication with metered dosage inhaler (MDI). There are numerous brands of asthma spacers available on prescription that suit various inhalers including volumatic, aerochamber, able spacer, space chamber plus, and a2a spacer. Spacers are being used to promote medication consumption. MDI with spacers is a good substitute for nebulizers. Furthermore, nebulizer therapy is more expensive than ‘metered-dose inhaler with spacer' therapy and necessitates more equipment and maintenance to avoid contamination.
