Background
Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) were developed to overcome the difficulties faced when using Metered Dose Inhalers, specifically the hand-breath coordination. To extract the proper dose of medicine from the Neohaler, one’s own Quick and Deep breathing is required. If the breathing is not Quick and Deep enough, then chances are that the medicine will settle at the back of your throat or mouth leading to ineffective dose delivery.
How to Inhale
When you take in a Quick and Deep breath through the mouthpiece, the fine powdered medicine is drawn deeper into the small airways of the lungs providing immediate and effective relief from symptoms.
Through the correct inhalation technique, the inhaler can be effectively used to manage the airways. The best way to learn and practice the correct way to inhale the medicine is to practice the inhalation technique shown in How to Inhale for Neohaler app.
