MDI (Metered-Dose Inhaler)

A Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) is a device used to deliver medication directly into the lungs to help manage conditions like asthma or COPD. It releases a specific amount of medicine with each press, creating a fine spray or mist that you inhale through your mouth. The device is portable and easy to use, providing quick relief or ongoing treatment by ensuring the medication reaches the airways efficiently. Proper technique ensures maximum effectiveness, and many MDIs contain a propellant to help deliver the medication with each actuation.
