title: [Easyhaler--ideal dry powder inhaler].
abstract: Dry powder inhalers (DPI) differ among each other in many technical aspects, size and value of lung deposition as well as clinical efficacy of inhaled drugs. Easyhaler is a reservoir, multi-dose, high-resistance DPI and it is easy to operate. The device needs low inspiratory flows which are possible to achieve even by asthmatic children over 5-year-old and emitted dose and fine particle fraction are practically stable within the range of optimal inspiratory flows. Currently budesonid, formoterol and salbutamol are available in Easyhaler device form. Easyhaler is accepted by majority of patients with asthma or COPD.
