What Does DPI Stand For?

DPI stands for Dry Powder Inhaler

DPI, or Dry Powder Inhaler, is a device used for delivering medication in the form of a dry powder directly to the lungs. It is typically utilized for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DPIs operate by inhalation, allowing patients to receive their medication without the need for propellants or liquid solutions. The device requires proper inhalation technique to ensure effective drug delivery and optimal therapeutic outcomes.
