What Does MDI Stand For?

MDI stands for Metered Dose Inhaler

MDI, or Metered Dose Inhaler, is a medical device commonly used to deliver aerosolized medication directly to the lungs. It consists of a pressurized canister containing medication, which is released in measured doses when the inhaler is activated. MDIs are widely used for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), allowing patients to manage their symptoms effectively and conveniently. Proper usage of an MDI is essential for optimal drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy.
