Patient’s inhaler device preference in COPD
Increased patient satisfaction and preference with a device can help optimize patient adherence to treatment1,2.
Factors affecting patient preferences: Perceived efficacy of device by patients Ability to use a given inhaler easily Psychological or physical issues
o Such as comorbidities (neuromuscular disorders and arthritis) can impact inhaler technique.

Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI)
MDI and DPI:advantages and disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Portable and compact Coordination of actuation and inhalation needed
Short treatment time Most patients inhale too fast
No contamination risk Important to prime before first use
High reproducibility between doses Often difficult to determine remaining doses
Spacers available for some devices Spacers more expensive and less portable
Chrystyn & Price. Prim Care Resp J 2009; Laube et al. Eur Respir J 2011
No coordination required Forceful inhalation needed to aerosolize particles
Not to be used with spacer More expensive than MDIs
Portable and compact; multi-dose devices available
Only used with drug that is dispensed with the device
Single-dose devices with doses kept separately in sealed packs
Must be kept upright or horizontal during inhalation
Breath actuated Patients not to exhale into device once prepared
Short treatment time Single devices require repeat loading

Why dry powder inhalers?
Automatic co-ordination of inhalation and drug release1,2:– reduces patient errors associated with need to
co-ordinate inhalation and drug release
Dose counting or low warning (multi-dose DPIs) – also a feature of newer pMDIs
Lack of propellant is environmentally friendly3
– although plastics content, electronics (with some devices) and fewer doses per device may contribute to a less environmentally friendly profile

Particle size & Dose Regional Deposition in Lung
• Delivered dose are usually in range of 75%-90% of metered dose.• FPD/FPM are very much dependent from formulation and delivery system but never 100% of delivered dose.
