The device is designed to permit patients to self-administer medicaments. You describe the sample as “The device is designed to permit a patient to inhale the contents of a capsule orally. The capsule contains Foradil (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder), a drug used for the treatment of breathing problems experienced by individuals who have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The capsule contains a bronchodilator which helps to keep the airways opened. This makes it easier for people to breathe and reduces the symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.” “In operation the capsule is placed into the Aerolizer where a device pierces the capsule.
