About MD Turbo

Cleared for marketing by the FDA and now available by prescription, MD Turbo® is a breath-activated, dose-counting companion product for use with metered dose inhalers.

For the millions of people who use pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) for asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders - especially for the almost 70 percent of patients who have difficulty using them properly - the newly-released MD Turbo® provides a solution for these deceptively difficult devices (inhalers).

Problem: Clinical research confirms that too often, a patient’s inhalation and the actuation of the inhaler are poorly coordinated. The result is that little medication reaches the lungs.

Solution: Breath-activated. No coordination of “press and breathe” required.

MD Turbo® with a patented, breath-activated mechanism. When the patient breathes in, the medication is delivered from the inhaler automatically. Breath activation has been shown to almost triple the amount of medication deposited in the lungs compared to poorly coordinated manual press and breathe methods. (1)

Problem: Regardless of how many sprays of medication are in an inhaler, even the most compliant patients can lose track of remaining doses. And in an emergency, use of an empty canister can have dangerous consequences.

Solution: Built-in automatic dose counter. No more “empty” surprises.

The solution: MD Turbo® not only tracks remaining doses, but also alerts patients, before their inhaler is empty, to refill their prescription.
