Drug Use and Education
People with advanced lung disease usually take multiple drugs on complex schedules that require precise dosing. Through a rehabilitation program, people can learn about the appropriate timing and doses of all drugs they need to take. Education often includes information about the nature of the lung disease and the role of drug therapy, including expected benefits, potential side effects, and the proper technique for use of inhaled drugs. Programs closely monitor compliance and teach people and families about the importance of appropriate drug use.
