Dry Powder Inhaler (Dpi):

Category:

Dry Powder Inhalers* (known as DPIs) deliver medication without using chemical propellants, but they require a strong and fast inhalation. With inhaled medications, the medicine is delivered directly to your bronchial tubes, helping to open your airways. Also, these medicines have fewer side effects compared to others that are taken by mouth or by injection. * see Asthma Inhalers.
