Turbuhaler - What is it for

Turbuhalers are inhaler devices that help deliver a specific amount of medication to your lungs.
They are used to deliver medications that are used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Both asthma and COPD affect the lungs which makes it harder for the person to breathe.

Turbuhalers deliver a very small dose of the medication each time, thus you usually do not feel or taste anything after a dose.
Hence, it is important to use the Turbuhalers correctly to get the full dosage and benefit from the medication.
This allows the medication to have a higher chance of reaching the small airways, which increases the effectiveness of the medication and helps to reduce any side effects.

Each Turbuhaler consists of a plastic device that contains dry powdered medication. It is activated by breath. This means that when you inhale, the Turbuhaler automatically releases the medication.
