Research Article: Demystifying Dry Powder Inhaler Resistance with Relevance to Optimal Patient Care
Introduction:
Inhaler devices are a key component of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment, but selecting the right device for the right patient can create challenges for the healthcare professional (HCP) and the patient. Pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are two of the most common inhaler device types. pMDIs have negligible airflow resistance and use propellants to deliver the drug into the lungs. In contrast, DPIs have much higher airflow resistance and…
