  • Title: Achieving compliance in asthma management.
    Author: Sayer QM.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1999 Nov; 15(2):97-9. PubMed ID: 10765312.
    Abstract:
    Up to three million asthma patients take their medication using a metered dose inhaler. The drive to reduce the world-wide use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) has resulted in the development of CFC-free metered dose inhalers. Nurses have an important part to play in managing the transition to CFC-free inhaler devices. This will provide an opportunity to improve levels of compliance with treatment and reduce asthma-induced morbidity and mortality
