peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). The Asthma Action Plan Sticker, which provides
color-coded areas where you can write medication instructions, can be affixed
to the back of the meter.

low-resistance valve that is sensitive enough to respond to the lowest
of pediatric flow rates. The clear mouthpiece allows caregivers to see

optimal drug delivery without the added cost of buying a new chamber. Accommodates
both CFC and HFA inhaler medications.

helps patients coordinate their inhalation with the medication release
by limiting air intake until the drug canister is depressed providing correct,
consistent drug delivery every time.

explanations about:
what happens during an asthma episode

how to follow three-zone asthma management
