Because of its advantages, inhaled administration of aerosolized drugs is the administration route of choice for the treatment of asthma and COPD. Numerous technological advances in the devices used in inhaled therapy in recent decades have boosted the appearance of multiple inhalers and aerosolized drugs. However, this variety also requires that the prescribing physician is aware of their characteristics. The main objective of the present review is to summarize the current state of knowledge on inhalers and inhaled drugs commonly used in the treatment of asthma. The review ranges from theoretical aspects (fundamentals and available devices and drugs) to practical and relevant aspects for asthma care in the clinical setting (therapeutic strategies, education, and adherence to inhalers).
由于其优势，雾化药物吸入给药是治疗哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的首选给药途径。近几十年来，吸入治疗所用设备的众多技术进步推动了多种吸入器和雾化药物的出现。然而，这种多样性也要求开处方的医生了解它们的特性。本综述的主要目的是总结目前关于哮喘治疗中常用吸入器和吸入药物的知识现状。该综述涵盖了从理论方面（基本原理以及可用的设备和药物）到临床环境中哮喘护理的实际和相关方面（治疗策略、教育以及对吸入器的依从性）。
