What does a brown inhaler do?
For asthma, patients are often prescribed two types of inhalers. Manufacturers of inhalers have standardized the colors of the plastic holders for inhalers to reduce confusion. The blue inhaler is used for immediate relief; it is often called a rescue inhaler. It is used when you have immediate symptoms. It is not quite a PRN "as needed" medication because, while you can use it for rescue/immediate symptoms, it cannot be used more than the maximum number of times per day that you've been instructed to use it. In fact, if you find yourself needing it more than the number of times prescribed as the maximum per day, your doctor needs to know so he can adjust the dose or timing of your maintenance inhaler. Rescue inhalers should only be used when you truly need it.The brown inhaler is referred to as a maintenance inhaler. It is used on a regular prescribed basis to reduce symptoms and prevent further attacks. You use the maintenance inhaler whether you feel symptoms or not. It is intended to keep your airways open by reducing inflammation and irritation on a regular basis.
Do you have enlarged lungs if you have breathing problems unable to clear your lungs and catch your breath You use an inhaler but it still doesn't solve the breathing problem?
The most common problem when you have breathing problems, unable to clear your lungs or catch your breath, is asthma, chronic bronchitis, or other chronic lung condition. All of these come under the umbrella term COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The lungs are not enlarged. Instead, the airways are irritated, inflamed, and narrowed. Your inhaler should open the airways. It is probably a "rescue inhaler". You need to ask your doctor if you need a maintenance inhaler used once a day, along with using your rescue inhaler.The key is, if your rescue inhaler is not doing what you need, you must talk to your doctor. There are wonderful medication combinations that can help you breathe better.
