Lupihaler-T Inhaler

Lupihaler-T Inhaler – Dry Powder Inhalation Device by Lupin

The Lupihaler-T is Lupin’s transparent-chamber dry powder inhalation device, manufactured in Italy by Miat/Plastiape. The clear window is the practical difference: you can see the capsule spinning and confirm it has emptied, so you know the dose actually went in rather than guessing. As with any DPI, it is breath-actuated – the powder is drawn from the pierced capsule by your own inhalation, with no propellant and no timing to co-ordinate. Device only – capsules sold separately.

Key Features

• Transparent chamber – visually confirm the capsule has emptied
• Breath-actuated dry powder inhaler, no propellant needed
• Durable moulded construction, easy to open and load
• Made in Italy by Miat/Plastiape for Lupin Ltd.
• Device only – medicine capsules purchased separately

Uses & Benefits

• Delivers inhaled medication directly into the lungs
• Used in the management of asthma and COPD
• Visible chamber gives reassurance the full dose was taken
• Breath-actuated design is simpler than co-ordinating a pressurised inhaler
• Targeted lung delivery means lower doses and fewer systemic effects
• Compact enough for daily carrying

Directions for Use

• Twist open the device and place one capsule (rotacap/respicap) in the chamber – never swallow the capsule
• Close the device and press the buttons to pierce the capsule
• Breathe out fully away from the device, then seal your lips round the mouthpiece and inhale quickly and deeply
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly through the nose
• Check the capsule is empty; repeat if powder remains. Rinse your mouth with water afterwards

Precautions

• This is a device only – the medicine capsules are bought separately and prescribed by your doctor
• Never swallow the capsules – they are made for inhalation through this device only
• Rinse your mouth after every use, especially with steroid inhalers, to prevent oral thrush and hoarseness
• Keep the device dry – never wash it under a tap or use it while wet
• Wipe the mouthpiece and capsule chamber with a dry cloth at least weekly; do not poke cloth or instruments inside
• Replace the device as advised by the manufacturer – performance falls once worn

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep the device closed when not in use so dust cannot enter
• Keep out of reach of children

This is an inhalation delivery device, supplied without medication. The medicine capsules must be prescribed by a doctor and purchased separately.
