Xiang Piao Tube-Type Inhaler

• Appearance: They typically consist of a small, pressurized metal canister containing the medication, which fits into a plastic "boot" or actuator with a mouthpiece.

• Mechanism: When the canister is pressed, a measured dose of medication is released as a spray or aerosol. This requires the user to coordinate pressing the canister with inhaling simultaneously.

• Purpose: Inhalers, including tube-type MDIs, are primarily used to deliver medication directly to the lungs for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as:

  • Asthma: To relieve symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and breathlessness, or to prevent flare-ups.

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, to improve breathing and manage symptoms.

  • Other respiratory conditions: Sometimes prescribed for conditions like cystic fibrosis, or even for some systemic conditions.

• Types of Medication: MDIs can contain various types of medications, including:

  • Bronchodilators: (e.g., albuterol/salbutamol) to relax the muscles in the airways and open them up, providing quick relief.

  • Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation in the airways, used as long-term "preventer" medications.

  • Combination inhalers: Containing both a bronchodilator and a corticosteroid.
