In order to educate pt on inhaler should pharmacist open the inhaler box and show how to use it or just go through the inhaler package insert .
 
We have demo devices...try to get your hands on some of those. If you can't find one, have the patient do it themselves.

I open and demonstrate albuterol but hold it next to my head and explain they should put their mouth on the device. It has to be primed anyway, so why not?
