How to Use Nistami Inhaler
Benefits of Nistami Inhaler
- In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a lung disease that is caused by swelling and excess mucus deposition in the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. This leads to breathing difficulties. Nistami relaxes the muscles of these airways and widens it. It also helps in removing excess mucus from the airways. This makes it easier for air to get in and out, thus making breathing easier. Apart from this, Nistami relieve symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. Avoid smoking and minimise your exposure to pollution, dust and fumes. Along with that, a little exercise each day can help you stay strong. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is good for you.
