Patient preference for a maintenance inhaler in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a comparison of Breezhaler and Respimat

Abstract: Background: Good compliance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is of 'paramount importance' in reducing the occurrence of acute exacerbations, hospitalisation and mortality and in improving quality of life. However, a number of studies have confirmed that long-term compliance is low and often associated with difficulties in handling maintenance inhalers. Therefore, the easier an inhaler is to use, the more likely the patient will comply with handling instructions and so, optimise control of the co… Show more

“…However, another article stated that DPI was a preference for COPD therapy. DPI is not the same as a spray inhaler (Ohno et al, 2014) (O'Hagan et al, 2018. If the spray inhaler produces an aerosol when sprayed, then DPI is enough to be inhaled to enter the inhaler drug.…”

“…Since DPI is a PROFIT, its use is more extended; therefore, the participants preferred DPI because it was more effective and lasted longer (Ohno et al, 2014). DPI was selected over spray inhalers because they were easy to use and learn (O'Hagan et al, 2018).…”

Several Chinese herbal medicines have shown potential benefits for stable or acute exacerbations COPD in recent systematic reviews.…”
