Tujuan utama ialah
- Rawatan mencegah Asma (Preventer) – These asthma inhalers are used to prevent any symptoms from occurring in the long run. If you are experiencing any asthma symptoms and take this inhaler, you will find that it does not have any effect. It takes hours or sometimes longer to have any effect on preventing symptoms from occurring. Preventers should be taken normally like any other inhaler. The doses are usually two puffs in the morning and two in the evening, however you should follow the instructions given from your physician/ doctor as recommended.
- Rawatan semasa serangan (Reliever) – Relievers are used to treat asthma symptoms instantly such as; breathlessness or wheezing (caused by the narrowing of the airways). It is the opposite use for preventers in which it takes immediate effect to calm inflammation and eliminate mucus build up, which relaxes the airways and makes it easier to breathe. These inhalers should not be needed regularly if your asthma is kept under control. However you should ALWAYS have one with you in case of an emergency.

2. Dry Powder Inhaler [DPI]
– Dry powder inhalers are small and convenient to carry (does not require a canister in order to use it) and do not use a propellant to administer the medication. The patient is required to take a deep, fast breath for the medication to be released. If the individual breaths out too fast, the medication which is dry powder has the potential of being released. This type of inhaler is not recommended for young children because of the physical requirements to administer the medication.
