Incorrect usage of Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) might have a major influence on the clinical effectiveness of the delivered drug. Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) were developed to overcome the difficulties of using Metered Dose Inhalers, specifically the mastering the relatively difficult skill of co-ordinating the pressingof the inhaler and inhaling the medicine.
What helps to deliver the medication into your lungs is your own inhaling (inspiratory) forceful breathing. Your breathing should be Quick and Deep to extractthe medicine from the inhaler.
When you take in a Quick and Deep breath through the mouthpiece of the Pressair, the fine powdered medication is separated from the larger carrier particles and drawn into the lungs.
Breathing in Quick and Deep may sound simple, but clinical studies prove that large proportion of patients fail to do so. Regular practice of Quick and Deep breathing using the app How to Inhale will help improve your inhalation and lead to effective and complete dose delivery.
