Patients should also be educated to keep track of inhaler use. Many DPIs have a built-in counter or device to notify the patient of how many doses are remaining (e.g., Diskus and Twisthaler ) or that the inhaler is approaching empty (e.g., Turbuhaler ).

Adrenal suppression with DPI formulations of mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate has been studied in 21 asthmatic patients in a randomized crossover study (56). Every 2 weeks the patients used consecutive doubling incremental doses of either mometasone furoate via Twisthaler (400, 800, and 1600 micrograms/day) or fluticasone propionate via Accuhaler (500, 1000, and 2000 micrograms/day). There was significant suppression of adrenal function with both mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate at high and medium doses.
