Description
Sten Kajitani and co-authors review leadership hurdles in greener inhaler prescribing in a 2025 paper. Standard puff inhalers carry propellants with heavy warming impact. Dry powder devices are far cleaner, yet prescribing habits barely budge.
Four studies covering 433 patients and clinicians met the bar. Both groups voiced environmental concern, but low awareness and routine habit blocked switching. Leaders reported fragmented responsibility, thin training, and low confidence raising the topic with patients. Where education and team collaboration were tried, willingness to switch rose. The authors argue health leaders must own the issue: clear guidelines, training, and eco-aware leadership can fold environmental cost into everyday prescribing choices.
