ABSTRACT:
An inhaler for asthma and other medical conditions consists of a medicine canister (12), and a canister holder (10). Tongue Guard for Inhaler (20) is attached onto the canister holder, and assists user in placing inhaler into proper position. When the inhaler is activated, flow of medicine is diverted away from tongue, and settling of medicine on tongue is prevented. Tongue Guard for Inhaler prevents medicine from settling on tongue, thereby preventing bad taste and injury to tongue, such as atrophy. It can be used in conjunction with spacer devices or it can be built integrally within canister holder.
