Aero sure inhaler

[imp1949]

Hi has anyone used the aerosure inhaler that I've seen advertised in the press and if so does it work? It seems quite expensive so I don't want to waste my money if it doesn't work

Look forward to responses

thanks imp. I thought that this looked really good and contacted Evergreen to ask if it is suitable to nebulise antibiotic. Unfortunately it is not because the antibiotic is too thick to go through the mesh. Fab for saline and ventolin though. I have an innospire mini which Does neb antibiotic.

I have put my reply about innospire Go on the wrong post DOH, Whilst I'm here are you talking about the aerosure medic device? I have bronchiectasis and find it the best for me over the mechanical flutter and acapella devices because it has a motor to create resistance. I tried the lung flute which was absolutely useless. Other people may have different experiences of these devices.

Hi imp1949, I have seen the Aero sure advertised a lot in my newspaper too.....if you type aerosure into the search box on the top right of this page you will see some previous posts and replies about it.

Aerosure is not an inhaler. There are no drugs involved. It helps with breathlessness and loosening / bringing up your mucus more easily. My son (nearly 11) has been using it for the last two years. For him it's especially helpful when he gets very chesty - helps him shift the mucus. I wouldn't be without it now.

Hello. I have phlegm in my lungs all the time and morning and bedtime use a nebuliser first with 7% prescribed salt solution and then do Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (lots of info on the web). This is usually OK to bring up the phlegm but about once a week the last bit seems to get stuck and when I lay down I wheeze and can't sleep, so then I use my Aerosure which enables the last little bit to be coughed up. Tip: I was told by a physiotherapist when talking about a Flutter (which is similar but doesn't use electricity to generate the vibration) that I should hold both cheeks while using a Flutter or Aerosure as the vibration then is concentrated in the lungs instead of vibrating my cheeks! I was also told to do at least 20 breaths before trying to cough, but if you use the Aerosure without a nebuliser first you may feel the need to cough much earlier than 20 breaths. I hope this helps.
