Aptar Pharma’s Prohaler is a smart DPI that has been developed with the patient in mind. This, says Aptar Pharma, makes it intuitive and simple to use by all asthma and COPD patients.
Prohaler features a novel powder dispersion technology enabling consistent lung deposition even when operating at relatively low patient inhalation flow rates. According to Aptar Pharma, the results of recent research showed that Prohaler has excellent ergonomics, providing intuitive and constant handling characteristics. It is easy to use, only three simple steps are needed: open the device, inhale and close it; inhaling triggers the release of a full dose of medication. And a dose counter reminds the patient how many doses are left in the device.
Prohaler also offers visual and audible feed-back systems to facilitate ease-of-use and patient compliance.
