MD Turbo™ (available by prescription) is a handheld companion to metered dose inhalers (MDIs) that addresses two important limitations of MDIs. MD Turbo™ helps you coordinate the press-and-breathe action needed for proper use of your inhaler. It also counts the remaining doses in your inhaler so you always know how much medication is left.

MD Turbo™ is compatible with a number of MDIs.

Improper inhaler use is very common.
In fact, more than half of all asthma and COPD patients use metered dose inhalers (MDIs) incorrectly1, 2, 3.

The two most common errors are:
  • Failure to coordinate taking a breath while
         pressing down on the inhaler to release medication.
  • Failure to track remaining doses in the inhaler.
Whether you are a patient, a medical professional or a caregiver, proper delivery of asthma medication is a top priority. MD Turbo™ is designed to make MDI use easier.

MD Turbo works with MDIs to provide Breath-Activated Delivery.
