Inhalers can be used by all asthma patients aged 5 and older, according to the American Medical Association. Through inhalation, it takes only 5–15 minutes for short-acting bronchodilators (quick-relief medicine) to have an effect, compared to oral asthma medicines, which can take 1–3 ...
During a UK asthma review service, patients' PIFR was checked at resistance settings matching their current preventer inhaler device, at R5 (high-resistance dry powder inhaler [DPI]) and at R0 (low resistance, pressurized metered dose inhaler [pMDI]). Correct PIFR (“pass”) was defined for...

Medications for respiratory disorders including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are typically delivered to the lung by means of a handheld inhaler. Patient preference for and ability to use the inhaler may influence their adherence to maintenance therapy, and adherence may affect...
However, the understanding of the link between (aerodynamic) particle size and clinical efficacy is advancing with the advent of invitro analytical and medical imaging technologies. For example, techniques such as those based o...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of two different dry powder inhalers, of the NGI induction port and Alberta throat and of the actual inspiratory profiles of asthmatic patients on in-vitro drug inhalation performances. Methods The two devices considered were a reservoir multidose...
