A Diskus® consists of a plastic device containing powdered medication. A Diskus is breath activated. This means when you inhale, the Diskus automatically releases the medication. When inhaled correctly, the medication has a better chance to reach the small airways. This increases the medication's effectiveness. The portable size, efficiency and convenience make the Diskus a desirable method for inhalation treatment.
