After. The inhalers are to open up the airways to get mucus out. Arobiker then loosens the mucus. They compliment each other
Thank you swizzy
I use mine after nebulising saline, but before taking my inhalers. If I'm a bit wheezy I might take some salbutamol before I start nebulising. This is the order I was told to use by the respiratory nurse, it was years ago so advice may have changed since. xx
Hi Alice my routine is ventolin 1st mucolyte 2nd wait 15mins use acapella device for 6 x 6 blows to clear mucus then my seretide this was how I was shown by my respiratory physio nurse
I was told by my physio to do the Aerobika first and then inhaler. She said if you use the inhaler before you will just breathe it out.
You will need to wait for the inhaler to take effect and open the airways before you use areobika.then you won't be breathing it out .But of course if the way you do it suits you thats what matters.
Hi Alice70,
I use AirPhysio to clear mucus and it works very well, but I only use it on an “as needed” basis. I think I would follow the routine advised by the respiratory nurses given in other replies. Good luck to you.
I use inhalers 1st to dilate them,soo easier for mucous to come up x
