Eighty consecutive patients who came to collect their prescriptions for pressurised aerosol inhalers at the Pharmacy of the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, were interviewed regarding their use of the pressurised inhaler. Their inhaler technique was also assessed. A significant proportion inhaled the steroid aerosol before the bronchodilator and 23.5% used the steroid inhaler for relief of acute dyspnoea. Only 28.8% of the 80 patients performed correctly all 6 steps necessary for the proper use of inhalers. The most common mistake was the failure to inhale slowly and deeply. Patients who had used the device for more than 5 years performed better, while correct inhaler technique was not dependent on the patient's sex, age or level of education.
