Adherence to inhaler medications plays a critical role in managing respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, studies consistently show that patient adherence to inhaler regimens remains suboptimal, leading to decreased treatment effectiveness and increased healthcare costs. To address this issue, healthcare providers and researchers have developed evidencebased strategies and interventions aimed at optimizing patient adherence. This article explores some of the effective strategies and interventions that can help improve patient adherence to inhaler medications. One of the foundational approaches to enhancing adherence is providing patients with comprehensive education about their respiratory condition, the purpose of inhaler medications and proper inhaler technique.
