Spacer for Qvar

[Polzovatel]

Hi

I am trying to find a spacer for Qvar inhaler ( with a round nozzle), Google suggested Aerochamber plus but it seems to have an oval nozzle. Anybody using it with a spacer?

Thanks

I think I managed to force my Qvar into the aerochamber as it was kind of squishable... could be wrong though as was a while ago.

Any spacer will do. They all have a rubbery insert slot so will fit round or oval.

If you’re in the UK tho, be aware that you can get them on prescription if you don’t want to/can’t afford to buy them off script (if you have a pre-paid certificate/exemption card etc and don’t pay for meds...). Also don’t forget to wash it frequently and replace it at least every 12 months!

Thanks, I've got Volumatics, it doesn't fit, will try Aerochambers

I get my spacer from my GP on prescription Marilyn

I have an AeroChamber Plus. It has a silicone end with the harmonica sound in it to tell you if you're breathing too quickly, with a hole which is oval shaped but is mouldable to the circular Qvar. It worked fine. The whole silicone part pulls off for weekly cleaning.

I've used an aerochamber with a round nozzle Qvar inhaler and it seems to work fine. The aerochamber has a soft rubber end and I found the round nozzle can be pushed into the slot quite easily using a twisting motion. This doesn't appear to do any long term damage to the aerochamber.
