title: An easy-to-use dry-powder inhaler.
abstract: The mometasone furoate dry-powder inhaler is a novel device designed to support compliance by delivering a topical corticosteroid in a simple three-step operation. This breath-actuated inhaler uses a stabilized agglomerate formulation to measure and deliver accurate, uniform, and precise doses of drug over a range of inspiratory flow rates. Laboratory and clinical data have shown that the design produced a simple, clinically effective inhaler for the treatment of adults and children 12 years of age and older with mild, moderate, or severe persistent asthma.
