Portable spacer?

Chabilita profile image
6 Replies

Hi, I’ve just been recently diagnosed with asthma that can be slightly severe esp during this weather, so it requires carrying my inhalers and spacer with me at all times. However, my job keeps me on my feet and away from my office, I cannot bring anything big in my pocket either. I am wondering if anyone knows a good portable/ mini/ micro spacer that has the same effectiveness as the normal size spacer but just a lot easier to carry?

Thank you

I got a Clement Clarke A2A Spacer Inhaler Chamber from Amazon. It is collapsible so you can fit it in your pocket

I use an areochamber, they are not big but it does need to match your inhaler.

I have the AeroChamber Plus which again is not big but has the advantage that the access bit for the inhaler is made of a more rubbery material so it can be used for evohalers with different shaped mouth pieces. I’m on Alvesco which has a circular mouth piece, for example.

Me to. My inhalers are fostair and cicloniside and I am on Spiriva which doesn't need an areochamber. The rest are nebs and tablets. I seem to have acquired an array of injections as well.
