| | Metered Dose Inhalers |
 | | Asthma is a disease of the lungs and airways with symptoms of breathlessness, tightness of the chest, wheezing and cough. |  | | Treatment of asthma and COPD is not uniform among all patients and must be individualized and is therefore critical that physicians be allowed to select the therapy that provides the best control for the individual patient. |  | | Because MDIs account for 70% of all inhalation therapy worldwide, the effective treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases depends on the continuing availability of the MDI. |
