I can give some feedback here, as a respiratory therapist, often times patients would try to breath in their inhalers too fast. It should be a long slooooooow deep breath and then a HOLD to let the medication get all the way down into their lungs.

Also you should have more emphasis on spacers as they allow for the medication to distribute more evenly and not get coated on the roof of the mouth when it sprays into the mouth.

Even a toilet paper roll can be used as a spacer and help the patient take the medication more effectively.

The other thing I would suggest is maybe having the website set up to easily identify "rescue" inhalers from maintenance inhalers as often patients get confused between their routine dose steroid treatments vs the rescue inhaler that they need to find IMMEDIATELY when short of breath.

Overall looks good!
