dry powder inhalers

Do you have a dry powder inhaler?

Dry powder inhalers are breath activated inhalers.

In New Zealand, the most common dry powder inhaler is the Turbuhaler, which is a breath activated inhaler with no propellant or carrier added to the medicine.

Some Kiwis also use the Accuhaler, which is also a breath activated device. Doses of the medicine are set into a foil strip inside the Accuhaler.

The HandiHaler delivers the medicine SPIRIVA which is used by some people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
