WHAT IS AEROCHAMBER PLUS?
Aerochamber Plus is an anti-static chamber device which improves delivery of medication from a metered dose inhaler. With metered dose inhalers, there is always a risk that due to coordinating pressing and breathing, most of the drug particles end up on the back of the throat or on the roof of the mouth.
Using Aerochamber Plus together with the inhaler eliminates the need for coordination and control that is needed when using metered dose inhalers. The Aerochamber increases the amount of time it takes for the medicine to be delivered and also allows for a greater concentration of the drug to be inhaled into the lungs.
It also reduces the incidence of some side-effects that can occur with certain groups of inhalers.
Aerochamber Plus is compact, light-weight, easy to use and is small enough to carry around.
Aerochamber Plus comes in 3 sizes and colours:
- Orange – small for infants
- Yellow – medium sized for young children
- Blue – large for older children, adults and elderly
