yup with a Xopenex inhaler they recommend doing it weekly

Take the med out of the applicator run some hot water thru it in both directions,, Only takes an hour or so to dry.

You will get about 1/3 more applications with the other inhalers, if you do this

I would think so. But it might be empty. When you put an aerosol can in the drier, it usually explode. If they don't explode, the pressure usually pushes the content out.
