Introduction

Aerolizer is a long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator. It works by widening the airways in the lungs, which helps you breathe more easily. Aerolizer is used with a long-term asthma medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, in adults and children ages 5 and older, to control symptoms of asthma and to prevent symptoms such as wheezing.

It is a multi dose Dry Powdered Inhaler.
