What is a DPI or dry powder inhaler? How do you use a dry powder inhaler?

Today, Melea is here discussing DPIs or dry powder inhalers with us. A DPI is a treatment device your doctor may prescribe to you if you have COPD, or many other respiratory issues. A DPI may help with inflammation of the airways. It may be a little bit confusing to use at first, but you'll get the hang of it quickly as it's very easy. Another good idea to remember after taking your DPI, or dry powder inhaler, is to drink a glass of water and rinse, gargle and spit out some water. This may prevent oral thrush, which is a very common side effect of your medication. We hope this helps you out. Life is 24/7 and so are we! If you are new to the Urgent Care 24/7, we started this video series because we have many patients come into our clinics with really important questions to relatively simple topics. Dr. Williams and our professional staff offer us candid conversations and a place to chat about common sense information that will make your live easier and your decision-making better. Here are Urgent Care 24/7, we saw such a need for urgent care medicine without the insurance companies in the middle between the patient, physician relationship and it has been our goal to create a compassionate, confidential, and cost-effective method for patients to get access to care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
