Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)

A dry powdered inhaler (DPI) is an asthma treatment option for older kids and teens. Using a dry powdered inhaler allows medicine to get deep into the lungs. Unlike other inhalers which deliver a puff of medicine, these inhalers hold the medicine as a dry powder. Since the medicine sits inside as a powder, you have to breathe in fast and deep to get the medicine into the lungs. If you have any further questions about dry powdered inhalers, contact your doctor’s office, asthma care team or pharmacy.
