The metered-dose inhaler Qvar RediHaler helps asthma patients avoid some of typical errors when using dosage aerosols. The active agent is delivered by breath actuation, so that hand-breath coordination, which many patients find difficult, is eliminated. Furthermore, unlike pressurised metered-dose inhalers, the RediHaler requires no priming or shaking but is ready to use upon opening the protective cap. The integrated dose counter displays the number of doses remaining.
Statement by the Jury
Thanks to the automatic actuation of the dose, the Qvar RediHaler is particularly safe and easy to use. The automatic dose counter fosters clarity.
