#device teaching

As with the Epi-pen post from last week (see here), a Breezhaler is a device that a pharmacy technician can be in a position to teach!

Now what is a Breezhaler? It is a small device designed to help deliver the medication (in the form of a dry powder) to the lungs. 

Currently, there are three different medications that use the Breezhaler that is available on the Canadian market: Onbrez Breezhaler,  Seebri Breezhaler and Ultibro Breezhaler. Additionally, these three medications are typically used to treat patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

For additional information about this medication, consult with your local pharmacist and/or physician!
