What Medicine is used for: Accuhalers are inhaler devices that help deliver a specific amount of medication to your lungs.They are used to deliver medications that are used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Both asthma and COPD affect the lungs which makes it harder for the person to breathe. Accuhalers deliver a very small dose of the medication each time, thus you usually do not feel or taste anything after a dose.Hence, it is important to use the Accuhaler correctly to get the full dosage and benefit from the medication.This allows the medication to have a higher chance of reaching the small airways, which increases the effectiveness of the medication and helps reduce any side effects. Each Accuhaler consists of a plastic device that contains dry powdered medication. When you slide the lever on the thumb grip, a dose is made available. It is activated by breath. This means that when you inhale, the Accuhaler automatically releases the medication.
