What is MD Turbo™?
MD Turbo™ is a handheld companion to metered dose inhalers. MD Turbo™ helps you coordinate the press-and-breathe action needed for proper use of your inhaler.

Once an inhaler is loaded, MD Turbo™ triggers the release of medication when you take a breath at the right rate for delivery of the medication to the lungs.

MD Turbo™ addresses the two biggest problems associated with MDIs:

1) It coordinates the medication release from the inhaler with the user's intake of breath to address coordination problems.

2) It includes an electronic dose counter that shows patients how much medication is left in the canister.

MD Turbo™ is a compact, handheld device that can be used with over 90% of the MDIs dispensed in the U.S. The device has a one-year lifespan.
