Description
The NEW TRANSPACER-VM Device by Lupin Ltd. is a respiratory accessory designed to optimize the delivery of inhaled medications.
- Name: NEW TRANSPACER-VM Device, Transpacer-VM Device.
- Composition: This is a non-static, small-volume chamber device. It does not contain any medicinal or biological substances. Key components include a transparent body, mouthpiece, and often comes with a child-friendly mask.
- Uses: The New Transpacer-VM Device is used to enhance the effective delivery of medication from metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) directly to the lungs. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who require precise medication delivery. It helps minimize medication deposition in the mouth and throat, ensuring a higher percentage of the drug reaches the lungs. This can also help in reducing potential side effects like oral irritation or infections.
- Dosage and Administration: The device is used in conjunction with a metered-dose inhaler. To use, remove the cap from the inhaler, shake it well, and insert it into the back end of the Transpacer-VM device. Press the inhaler to release the dose into the chamber. Then, exhale fully, place your lips tightly around the mouthpiece, inhale slowly and deeply, and hold your breath for approximately 30 seconds or as long as comfortable. Repeat if a second dose is prescribed. After each use, rinse your mouth properly.
- Side Effects: As a medical device, the Transpacer-VM does not have pharmacological side effects. Its use, however, is intended to reduce medicine wastage and deposition in the mouth and throat, thereby minimizing potential localized side effects of inhaled medications such as oral thrush or throat irritation.
- Precautions:
- Only use with metered-dose inhalers as directed by a healthcare professional; do not use with nebulizers or dry powder inhalers.
- Clean the device regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain its function and hygiene.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Consult a doctor for proper training on how to use the device.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, typically below 30°C, and away from direct sunlight.
