Why Your Inhaler May Not Be Working (And How To Fix It)

What Is an Inhaler and How Does It Work?

If you have breathing problems, allergies, or asthma, you may have wondered, “What is an inhaler and how does it work?” Inhalers are small handheld devices that deliver medicine directly to your lungs. They help many people breathe easier, often within minutes.

Inhalers represent one of the most significant advances in respiratory medicine, revolutionizing the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) since their introduction in the 1950s. The device’s ability to deliver medication directly to the airways means that therapeutic effects can be achieved with much lower doses than oral medications, while simultaneously reducing side effects throughout the body.

Inhalers are used by children and adults alike, but they’re especially common for people with asthma or allergy-related breathing issues. Current estimates suggest that over 300 million people worldwide use inhalers for various respiratory conditions. Understanding how an inhaler works, why it helps, and how to use it correctly can make a big difference in your daily comfort and health. Unfortunately, studies consistently show that 70 to 80 percent of patients don’t use their inhalers correctly, which significantly compromises treatment effectiveness.


What Is an Inhaler?

An inhaler is a small device that delivers medicine directly into your airways when you breathe in. The medicine helps open up the airways, reduce swelling, or prevent breathing problems before they start.

Inhalers are most often used for conditions like asthma. Some people with long-term allergy symptoms or other lung conditions may also use inhalers under a doctor’s care. Other conditions that may require inhaler therapy include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and exercise-induced breathing difficulties.

Why Inhalers Work Better Than Pills

The fundamental principle behind inhaler therapy is delivering medication directly to the respiratory tract. This targeted delivery offers several distinct advantages:

  • Rapid onset of action: Bronchodilators can begin working within minutes when inhaled, compared to 30 to 60 minutes for oral medications.
  • Minimized side effects: Direct delivery to the lungs reduces absorption throughout the body, decreasing unwanted effects.
  • Lower doses needed: Inhalers require much smaller doses to achieve therapeutic effects, sometimes 100 times less medication than would be needed orally.

Because the medicine goes straight to the lungs, inhalers work faster than pills taken by mouth. This makes them a very effective way to treat breathing problems. The respiratory tract has an enormous surface area (approximately 70 to 100 square meters in adults), providing extensive contact between the medication and the airways.


How Does an Inhaler Work?

What is an inhaler and how does it work in your body? Inhalers deliver a measured dose of medicine directly into your lungs. When you press the inhaler and breathe in, the medicine travels deep into your airways.

The Science Behind Medication Delivery

When the inhaler is activated, it generates particles or droplets of medication in a specific size range, typically 1 to 5 micrometers in diameter. This size is critical because:

  • Particles too large (above 10 micrometers) deposit in the mouth and throat and never reach the lungs
  • Particles too small (below 0.5 micrometers) may be exhaled without depositing in the airways

Once in your lungs, the medicine works in one of two ways:

Opens the airways: Bronchodilator medications relax the smooth muscle that surrounds the airways. In conditions like asthma, these muscles can constrict in response to triggers, narrowing the airways and making breathing difficult. Bronchodilators act on specific receptors in the airway muscles, causing them to relax and the airways to open.

Reduces swelling: Anti-inflammatory medications, primarily inhaled corticosteroids, reduce the underlying inflammation in the airways by suppressing immune cell activity, decreasing production of inflammatory chemicals, reducing airway swelling, and inhibiting mucus production. Unlike bronchodilators, which provide immediate relief, anti-inflammatory effects develop gradually over days to weeks of regular use.

This direct route allows the medicine to start working within minutes for many people. That’s why inhalers are often used during sudden breathing trouble or before an activity that might trigger symptoms.

Speed of Action

The speed of onset depends on the medication type:

  • Short-acting bronchodilators: Begin working within 3 to 5 minutes, with peak effect at 15 to 30 minutes
  • Inhaled corticosteroids: Require consistent daily use for 1 to 2 weeks before maximum benefit is achieved

The deposition pattern of inhaled medication depends on several factors, including particle size, inhalation flow rate, breath-hold duration, and airway anatomy. Optimal inhalation technique ensures that medication reaches the small airways where much of the disease process occurs.

Different Types of Inhalers

Not all inhalers do the same thing. There are different types for different purposes.

Reliever Inhalers (Rescue Inhalers)

These are used when breathing symptoms appear suddenly. They work fast to open the airways and help you feel better quickly during an attack of breathlessness or wheezing.

Reliever inhalers contain short-acting medications such as albuterol that stimulate receptors on airway muscle cells, triggering muscle relaxation and airway dilation within minutes. These medications provide rapid relief of acute symptoms, including wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and cough. The effect typically lasts 4 to 6 hours.

Important to know: Reliever inhalers are intended for as-needed use during symptom episodes or before exercise. However, they don’t treat the underlying inflammation that causes asthma symptoms. They provide symptomatic relief but don’t modify the disease process.

Frequent use of reliever inhalers (more than twice per week for symptom relief, excluding pre-exercise use) indicates inadequate asthma control and suggests the need for controller medication.

Preventer Inhalers (Controller Inhalers)

These are used every day, even when you feel fine. Preventer inhalers help reduce swelling in the airways. This lowers the chance of symptoms starting in the first place.

Preventer inhalers contain medications that reduce airway inflammation and prevent symptoms from occurring. The most common and effective preventers are inhaled corticosteroids such as fluticasone, budesonide, and mometasone.

How they work: Inhaled corticosteroids are the cornerstone of asthma management and the most effective long-term control medication available. They work by:

  • Suppressing inflammatory processes
  • Reducing inflammatory cell numbers in the airways
  • Decreasing vascular swelling and mucus secretion
  • Reducing airway sensitivity to triggers

Important timeline: The anti-inflammatory effects develop gradually. Patients may notice some improvement within days, but maximum benefit typically requires 4 to 12 weeks of regular daily use. This delayed onset often leads to patients stopping medication when they feel well, not understanding that the absence of symptoms is due to the medication’s ongoing preventive effect.

Critical fact: These must be used regularly as prescribed, even when symptoms are absent, to maintain protective effects. Stopping often leads to the return of symptoms within days to weeks. Studies demonstrate that consistent use reduces asthma attacks by 50 to 70 percent, improves lung function, and reduces the need for rescue medication and hospitalizations.

Combination Inhalers

These contain both types of medicine. They’re often used by adults who have ongoing symptoms that need both fast relief and long-term control.

Combination inhalers contain an inhaled corticosteroid plus a long-acting bronchodilator in a single device. Common combinations include fluticasone/salmeterol and budesonide/formoterol.

Why combination therapy works: The corticosteroid reduces inflammation while the long-acting bronchodilator provides sustained airway opening. Together, they provide better asthma control than either medication alone at similar doses.

Benefits of combination inhalers:

  • Improve medication adherence by reducing the number of devices to manage
  • Ensure that long-acting bronchodilators are never used without anti-inflammatory medication
  • Simplify treatment regimens

Your doctor will help decide which type is best for you based on your symptoms and needs. The choice depends on asthma severity, frequency of symptoms, lung function measurements, patient age and ability to use different devices, and cost considerations.

What Is Inside an Inhaler?

Inside an inhaler is the medicine your body needs to manage breathing problems. There are two main formats:

Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs)

These use a small spray with a propellant to push the medicine out.

Metered-dose inhalers are the most commonly prescribed inhaler type, representing approximately 60 percent of inhaler prescriptions globally. MDIs are pressurized canisters containing medication suspended or dissolved in a propellant. When the canister is pressed, a valve releases a precise dose of medication mixed with propellant.

Modern MDI technology: Modern MDIs use hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants, which are environmentally friendly and non-ozone-depleting. The valve is engineered to deliver a consistent dose every time. Modern MDIs include dose counters that track the number of remaining doses, eliminating guesswork about when the inhaler is empty.

Advantages of MDIs:

  • Compact and portable
  • Relatively inexpensive
  • Can deliver a wide range of medications
  • Consistent dose delivery

Limitations of MDIs:

  • Require coordination of pressing the canister with inhalation (difficult for some patients)
  • Significant medication can deposit in the throat if used without a spacer
  • Require proper priming and maintenance

Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs)

These release a fine powder that you breathe in deeply.

Dry powder inhalers deliver medication as a fine powder rather than an aerosol spray. DPIs are breath-activated devices that disperse medication when the patient inhales forcefully through the device.

How DPIs work: The patient’s forceful inhalation generates airflow within the device, which disperses the powder into respirable particles. This breath-activation eliminates the coordination challenge of MDIs. Patients simply inhale forcefully, and the device automatically releases medication.

Advantages of DPIs:

  • No propellant required (more environmentally friendly)
  • Breath-activated (no coordination required)
  • Easier to determine when empty (in some designs)
  • Some patients prefer the sensation of inhaling powder

Limitations of DPIs:

  • Patients must generate sufficient forceful inhalation (young children, elderly patients, and those with severe breathing problems may struggle)
  • Moisture sensitive (must be stored in dry conditions)
  • Generally more expensive than MDIs
  • Not suitable for patients unable to generate adequate inspiratory flow

Each inhaler delivers a specific amount of medicine each time you use it. This helps make sure you get the right dose every time. The precision of modern inhaler devices is remarkable, with dose-to-dose consistency typically within 15 to 20 percent. However, this precision assumes correct technique.


How to Use an Inhaler Properly

Using an inhaler correctly is very important. If it’s used incorrectly, the medicine may not reach your lungs and may stay in your mouth instead.

Proper inhaler technique is critical for medication effectiveness, yet it’s one of the most commonly overlooked aspects of asthma management. Studies show that 70 to 80 percent of patients make at least one critical error, and 30 to 40 percent make multiple errors that significantly compromise medication delivery.

Step-by-Step Inhaler Technique

Step 1: Shake the inhaler (if applicable)

  • MDIs should be shaken vigorously for 5 seconds before each use to ensure the medication is properly mixed
  • DPIs should never be shaken, as this can cause the powder to clump

Step 2: Breathe out fully

  • Before inhaling medication, exhale completely
  • Don’t exhale into the inhaler device itself, as this can introduce moisture
  • This step empties the lungs, creating maximum space for the medication-containing breath

Step 3: Position the mouthpiece

  • Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and seal your lips around it
  • Create a tight seal with your lips to prevent medication from escaping
  • The mouthpiece should be positioned between the teeth with the lips sealed around it

Step 4: Coordinate pressing and breathing

  • For MDIs: Begin inhaling slowly through the mouth, then within the first second, press down firmly on the canister. Continue the slow, deep inhalation (over 3 to 5 seconds) to carry the medication into the lungs. The slow inhalation rate is important; fast, forceful inhalation causes more medication to impact the throat.
  • For DPIs: Inhale forcefully and deeply from the beginning, as the forceful breath activates the device

Step 5: Hold your breath

  • After completing the inhalation, remove the inhaler from the mouth
  • Hold your breath for 10 seconds if possible (or as long as comfortable, at least 5 to 10 seconds)
  • This allows time for the medication particles to settle and deposit on the airway walls
  • After the breath-hold, exhale slowly through the nose if possible

Additional Important Technique Tips

Proper priming: MDIs require priming before first use and after periods of non-use, typically 2 to 4 sprays into the air.

Wait between puffs: Wait 30 to 60 seconds between puffs when multiple doses are prescribed.

Rinse your mouth: After using inhaled corticosteroids, rinse the mouth with water and spit (reduces risk of oral thrush).

Clean regularly: Clean the inhaler according to manufacturer instructions (typically weekly).

Check the dose counter: Replace the inhaler when empty.

Your healthcare provider can show you the exact technique for your inhaler. Practice makes perfect, and many people improve with guidance from a professional. Inhaler technique should be taught at initial prescription, then reassessed at every visit.

Using a Spacer Device

For patients who struggle with MDI coordination despite training, spacer devices (also called holding chambers) can dramatically improve medication delivery. Spacers are chamber devices that attach to the MDI, allowing you to press the inhaler into the chamber, then inhale from the chamber at your own pace.

Benefits of spacers:

  • Reduce medication depositing in the throat
  • Remove the need for hand-breath coordination
  • Increase lung deposition of medication
  • Recommended for all patients using MDIs with inhaled corticosteroids


Who Shouldn’t Use an Inhaler?

Inhalers are useful, but they’re not meant for everyone. You should only use an inhaler if a healthcare provider has told you to.

While inhalers are generally safe when used as prescribed, they are medications that require proper diagnosis, appropriate selection, and supervised use. Self-medication with inhalers, particularly using someone else’s prescription inhaler, can be dangerous and delay appropriate treatment.

People Who Should Not Use an Inhaler Without Medical Supervision

Those who haven’t been diagnosed with asthma or another breathing condition: Shortness of breath and wheezing can result from many conditions besides asthma, including:

  • Heart failure
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Pneumonia
  • COPD
  • Vocal cord dysfunction
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Foreign body aspiration
  • Anaphylaxis

Using an asthma inhaler for these conditions not only fails to address the underlying problem but may mask serious symptoms, delay critical diagnosis, or create a false sense of security. Proper diagnosis through medical evaluation is essential before beginning inhaler therapy.

People using someone else’s inhaler medicine: Each inhaler prescription is individualized based on specific diagnosis, severity, medication allergies, other health conditions, and concurrent medications. Using another person’s inhaler may result in:

  • Taking the wrong medication type
  • Receiving an inappropriate dose
  • Experiencing drug interactions
  • Having allergic reactions
  • Creating a medication shortage for the prescribed patient

Individuals with certain heart conditions (unless a doctor approves it): Bronchodilators can affect the cardiovascular system, causing increased heart rate, palpitations, increased blood pressure, and in rare cases, cardiac rhythm problems. Patients with pre-existing heart conditions should use bronchodilators cautiously and only under medical supervision.

Anyone who feels worse after using an inhaler: If symptoms worsen after inhaler use, this may indicate:

  • Paradoxical bronchospasm (a rare but serious reaction where the inhaler causes airway constriction)
  • Incorrect diagnosis
  • Medication allergy or sensitivity
  • Improper technique
  • Progression to severe condition requiring emergency treatment

Worsening symptoms demand immediate medical evaluation.

Common Side Effects to Be Aware Of

Using an inhaler without proper guidance can cause side effects like:

  • Fast heartbeat
  • Shakiness or tremor (particularly of the hands)
  • Feeling anxious or nervous
  • Headache
  • Muscle cramps

Inhaled corticosteroids can cause:

  • Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth and throat)
  • Hoarseness or voice changes
  • Throat irritation

If you’re not sure whether you should use an inhaler, talk with your doctor or a specialist. A comprehensive evaluation will guide appropriate inhaler selection and ensure safe, effective therapy.

Why Your Inhaler May Not Be Working (And How to Fix It)

Sometimes people feel like their inhaler isn’t helping. There are a few common reasons for this.

When patients report that their inhaler “doesn’t work,” this requires systematic evaluation to identify and correct the underlying problem. The issue may lie with the device itself, the medication regimen, the patient’s technique, or other factors.

Problem 1: Technique Errors

One of the main reasons an inhaler may not work well is that it’s not being used correctly. If the medicine doesn’t go into your lungs, it cannot do its job.

Poor inhaler technique is the single most common reason for treatment failure. Even small errors can dramatically reduce medication delivery to the lungs.

Critical errors that prevent medication from reaching the airways:

  • Failure to shake MDI before use
  • Breathing in through the nose instead of the mouth
  • Inadequate breath-hold after inhalation
  • Stopping inhalation when the cold spray hits the throat (MDIs)
  • Insufficient forceful inhalation (DPIs)
  • Exhaling into the device before inhalation
  • Multiple presses during a single inhalation (rather than one puff per breath)

Less obvious but still significant errors:

  • Poor hand-breath coordination in MDIs (pressing too early or too late)
  • Too-rapid inhalation with MDIs (causing more throat deposition)
  • Too-slow inhalation with DPIs (insufficient powder dispersion)
  • Failing to exhale fully before inhalation
  • Not sealing lips properly around the mouthpiece

The impact: Studies using specialized tracking show that proper technique results in approximately 10 to 20 percent lung deposition for MDIs and 20 to 30 percent for DPIs. However, with critical errors, lung deposition may drop to near zero, meaning patients receive virtually no medication despite using their inhaler regularly.

The solution: A doctor or nurse can watch you use your inhaler and suggest small changes that can make a big difference. Direct observation and correction of inhaler technique should be standard practice at every healthcare visit.

The teach-back method is particularly effective:

  1. Healthcare provider demonstrates proper technique
  2. Patient practices with a placebo device while the provider watches
  3. Patient explains each step back to the provider
  4. Errors are corrected immediately
  5. Process repeats until correct technique is demonstrated

Problem 2: Empty or Blocked Inhaler

An inhaler that’s empty or blocked may not spray the medicine properly. Most modern inhalers have dose counters that tell you how many doses are left. If the inhaler is clogged, cleaning it carefully may help.

Empty inhalers: Before dose counters became standard, patients often continued using inhalers long after they were empty, receiving no medication but assuming the device was working because it still produced a spray (from propellant alone in MDIs).

How to avoid this problem:

  • Check the dose counter regularly
  • Dose counters display the number of remaining doses and typically change color as the inhaler nears empty (often red for the last 20 doses)
  • Replace the inhaler when the counter reaches zero, even if it still produces a spray
  • For inhalers without dose counters, track doses manually and replace based on the labeled number of doses

Blocked or clogged inhalers: Medication accumulates in the mouthpiece when it’s not cleaned regularly, partially obstructing medication delivery. This can reduce the amount of medication released or alter the spray pattern.

Cleaning protocols:

For MDIs (at least weekly):

  1. Remove the canister from the plastic actuator
  2. Rinse the actuator under warm running water for 30 seconds
  3. Shake off excess water
  4. Allow to air dry completely overnight
  5. Reassemble in the morning
  6. Test spray twice before use
  7. Never rinse the metal canister, only the plastic actuator

For DPIs:

  1. Use a dry cloth to wipe the mouthpiece weekly
  2. Never rinse with water, as moisture will damage the powder medication

When to replace: If the problem continues after cleaning, a new inhaler may be needed. Sometimes mechanical failure occurs, including faulty valves, damaged dose counters, or cracked mouthpieces.

Problem 3: Wrong Type of Inhaler

In some cases, the type of inhaler you’re using may not be the best fit for your symptoms. If symptoms keep happening often, talk to your healthcare provider.

Common medication selection problems:

  • Using only a reliever without a preventer: When persistent asthma requires controller therapy, using only rescue medication treats symptoms without addressing underlying inflammation. The patient may get temporary relief but continues to experience frequent symptoms and remains at risk for severe attacks.
  • Using preventer medication alone without having a rescue inhaler available: While controllers prevent symptoms, they don’t provide rapid relief during an acute episode. Patients should always have a rescue inhaler accessible.
  • Insufficient controller medication dose: When asthma severity exceeds the medication potency. Guidelines recommend stepwise increases in treatment intensity until control is achieved.
  • Using a device inappropriate for the patient’s ability: When patients (particularly young children, elderly patients, or those with severe breathing problems) cannot generate sufficient breath for a DPI or cannot coordinate pressing and breathing for an MDI without a spacer.
  • The solution: Medication selection should be individualized based on disease severity, patient age and ability, other health conditions, medication allergies, patient preference and lifestyle, and cost. Regular reassessment is important because asthma control can change over time, requiring treatment adjustment.

How to Tell If Your Inhaler Is Empty or Blocked

It helps to know the condition of your device. Signs your inhaler may be empty or blocked include:

Weak or no spray when you press it: With MDIs, you should feel a forceful spray when the canister is pressed. A weak spray, a spray that doesn’t travel far, or no spray at all suggests the inhaler is empty or malfunctioning. However, propellant may remain even when medication is depleted, so a spray doesn’t guarantee medication delivery. Always check the dose counter.

No improvement in symptoms: If a rescue inhaler that previously provided rapid symptom relief suddenly stops working, consider whether the inhaler is empty. However, also consider whether symptoms are worsening (indicating need for controller medication adjustment) or whether a different condition is causing the symptoms.

The dose counter is showing zero: This is the most reliable indicator. When the counter reaches zero, stop using the inhaler even if it still produces a spray. Some counters lock the device when empty, while others simply display zero but still allow pressing (which would deliver only propellant without medication).

Additional signs of potential inhaler problems:

  • Medication that tastes or feels different than usual
  • Visible medication residue around the mouthpiece
  • Hearing rattling or feeling looseness inside the device
  • The canister feels very light (suggesting it’s empty)

Prevention tips:

  • Clean the mouthpiece regularly to prevent clogging
  • Check the dose counter routinely
  • Set reminders for refill prescriptions before the inhaler runs out
  • Bring all of your inhalers to medical appointments for provider assessment

If you feel unsure, ask your doctor to check your inhaler with you.

When You Might Need a Different Inhaler

Your breathing needs may change over time. If you’re using your inhaler correctly and still having symptoms, your doctor may suggest:

  • Changing the type of inhaler: Switching from an MDI to a DPI (or vice versa) based on your ability to use the device correctly.
  • Adjusting the dose of medicine: Increasing the strength of your controller medication or adding additional medications.
  • Adding medication for better control: Combining multiple medications to achieve better symptom control and prevent attacks.

A breathing specialist can help tailor a plan that works for you. Regular follow-up allows for treatment optimization as your condition changes.

How Allergies Affect Breathing and Inhaler Use

Allergies can make asthma and other breathing problems worse. Allergy symptoms can cause swelling and irritation in your airways. This can make breathing harder and increase your need for an inhaler.

The allergy-asthma connection: The connection between allergies and asthma is strong. The nasal passages and lower airways share similar tissue and respond to the same allergens. Untreated allergies can worsen asthma in several ways:

  • Nasal congestion forces mouth breathing, which bypasses the nose’s filtering functions
  • Postnasal drip carries inflammatory chemicals to the airways
  • Allergic inflammation makes airways more reactive to other triggers

Common triggers: Seasonal allergies are very common triggers. Pollen, grass, weeds, and mold can make symptoms worse at certain times of the year. Year-round allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and indoor mold can cause chronic symptoms.

Treatment benefits: Treating allergies can reduce airway inflammation and improve how well your inhaler works. Studies show that effective allergy treatment can improve asthma control, reduce asthma medication requirements, and decrease emergency department visits.

When to See an Allergy Specialist

You should consider seeing an allergy specialist if:

  • Your symptoms get worse during allergy season: If you notice a clear pattern of breathing problems worsening during spring, summer, or fall, allergies may be a significant trigger.
  • Allergy symptoms trigger asthma attacks: When there’s a clear connection between allergen exposure and breathing difficulties, specialized evaluation can identify specific triggers.
  • Your inhaler doesn’t seem to help: If symptoms persist despite using your inhaler correctly, underlying allergies may need to be addressed.
  • Symptoms interfere with sleep or daily activities: Significant impact on quality of life justifies comprehensive evaluation. Breathing problems shouldn’t force major lifestyle compromises.

An allergy specialist can help identify triggers and recommend treatments that support better breathing. Specialized testing can pinpoint exactly which allergens affect you, allowing for targeted avoidance strategies and treatment options like allergen immunotherapy.
