As an allergy specialist, I often recommend the Rotahaler device for patients prescribed dry powder inhalers using Rotacap. Using the Rotahaler correctly ensures that the medicine gets deep into your lungs for effective relief.

Steps to Use a Rotahaler with Rotacapsules
- Your Rotacap will have a transparent side and a colored side. Insert the capsule into the Rotahaler with the transparent side facing down.
- Close the Rotahaler firmly.
- Twist or rotate the device to pierce the capsule, releasing the medicine powder into the chamber.
- Before inhaling, breathe out gently to empty your lungs.
- Place the Rotahaler mouthpiece into your mouth, sealing your lips tightly.
- Take a fast, deep breath in to inhale the medication.
- Remove the Rotahaler from your mouth and hold your breath for at least 10 seconds, preferably up to 15-20 seconds.
- Exhale slowly through your nose.
- Drink and gargle water after inhalation to clear any leftover medication from the mouth and throat.
- If a second dose is prescribed, discard the used capsule, insert a new one, and repeat the steps.
Take your medication regularly as prescribed for the best results.
Conclusion
Correct use of the Rotahaler and Rotacapsules helps maximize the medicine’s benefit and control asthma or COPD symptoms effectively. Practice these steps carefully and stay consistent with your treatment.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My breathing became more laboured, and I experienced increasing fatigue and shortness of breath with even minimal activity.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing became easier, the tightness in my chest eased, and I felt more energetic and capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina and confidence.It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with COPD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at www.naturepathherbalclinic.com
