RESPIHALER DEVICE

How RESPIHALER DEVICE Works

• The RESPIHALER DEVICE is engineered to deliver medication directly to your lungs, maximizing its effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects. It achieves this through a combination of precise engineering and user-friendly design. The key components work in synergy to aerosolize the medication into a fine mist that can be easily inhaled.
• First, the medication, typically in a pre-metered dose, is contained within the RESPIHALER. When you actuate the device by pressing down on the canister (in a metered-dose inhaler) or by inhaling deeply (in a dry powder inhaler), a specific dose of the medication is released. This release is carefully controlled to ensure consistent dosing with each actuation.
• Next, the device aerosolizes the medication. This means it transforms the liquid or powder medication into a fine mist or aerosol. The RESPIHALER utilizes a nozzle or a specially designed chamber to break down the medication into particles small enough to reach the lower airways of your lungs. The particle size is crucial; particles that are too large will be trapped in the upper airways and swallowed, while particles that are too small may be exhaled without depositing in the lungs.
• As you inhale through the RESPIHALER, the aerosolized medication is drawn into your respiratory system. The design of the mouthpiece helps to direct the flow of the mist towards your mouth and throat. It is essential to inhale deeply and steadily to ensure that the medication reaches the bronchioles and alveoli, the tiny air sacs in your lungs where oxygen exchange takes place. Holding your breath for a few seconds after inhalation allows the medication to settle in the lungs and be absorbed.
• The RESPIHALER DEVICE is designed for ease of use and portability. Its compact size allows you to carry it with you and use it whenever and wherever you need it. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the device are essential to ensure its proper functioning and prevent clogging, which can affect the accuracy of the dose delivered. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and storage.
• In summary, the RESPIHALER DEVICE works by accurately metering a dose of medication, aerosolizing it into a fine mist with the optimal particle size for lung deposition, and delivering it directly to your airways upon inhalation. This targeted delivery system maximizes the therapeutic benefit of the medication while reducing the risk of systemic side effects. Proper technique and regular maintenance are key to ensuring the effectiveness of the RESPIHALER DEVICE.

Like all medicines, RESPIHALER DEVICE can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. **Common Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):** * Cough * Sore throat * Headache * Upper respiratory tract infection (common cold) * Sinusitis * Oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth) - *Rinse your mouth with water after each use to help prevent this.* * Muscle cramps * Palpitations **Uncommon Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):** * Hoarseness * Dry mouth * Nausea * Dizziness * Tremor * Anxiety * Difficulty sleeping * Fast heart rate **Rare Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):** * Paradoxical bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty breathing immediately after using the inhaler). *If this happens, stop using RESPIHALER DEVICE and seek immediate medical attention.* * Allergic reactions, including rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. **Very Rare Side Effects (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):** * Increased pressure in the eyes (glaucoma) * Irregular heartbeat **Other Possible Side Effects (frequency not known):** * Restlessness * Changes in blood pressure * Changes in blood sugar levels * Chest pain * Urinary retention **Important Note:** This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. If you experience any other unusual symptoms, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

• If you miss a dose of Respihaler, take it as soon as you remember.
• However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
• Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep RESPIHALER DEVICE away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store RESPIHALER DEVICE at room temperature.

• **Mastering the Technique:** Ensure optimal drug delivery by practicing the correct inhalation technique. Coordinate pressing the canister and inhaling deeply and slowly. If unsure, consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a demonstration. Correct technique maximizes medication reaching your lungs, improving symptom control.
• **Priming is Paramount:** If your Respihaler is new or hasn't been used in a while (e.g., more than a week), prime it by releasing a few test sprays into the air, away from your face. This ensures each dose delivers the right amount of medication. Refer to the product leaflet for specific priming instructions.
• **Cleaning Routine:** Keep your Respihaler clean to prevent blockages and ensure hygiene. Remove the canister and wash the actuator with warm water regularly. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembling. A clean inhaler delivers medication more effectively and reduces the risk of infection.
• **Dosage Discipline:** Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage schedule. Don't skip doses or double up, even if you're feeling well or experiencing symptoms. Consistent use is key to managing your respiratory condition effectively. If you have any concerns about your dosage, consult your doctor.
• **Storage Savvy:** Store your Respihaler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Extreme temperatures can affect the medication's effectiveness. Keep it out of reach of children. Proper storage ensures the medication remains potent and safe for use.

• RESPIHALER DEVICE is administered through inhalation and does not have any known interactions with food. You can use the inhaler regardless of when you eat.
