Revolizer (Device)

1. What is the Revolizer device used for?

The Revolizer is a dry powder inhalation device developed by Cipla to deliver medications directly into the lungs for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is commonly used with medications like Tiova Rotacaps or Foracort Rotacaps.

2. How does the Revolizer work?

The Revolizer works by releasing powdered medicine from a capsule called a Rotacap. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece, the device disperses the powder into the lungs, allowing for rapid and direct action on the airways.

3. How do I use the Revolizer correctly?

1. Open the mouthpiece cover and insert one Rotacap into the chamber.
2. Rotate the base to pierce the capsule.
3. Exhale completely away from the device.
4. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale deeply and forcefully.
5. Hold your breath for 5–10 seconds, then exhale slowly.

Do not swallow the Rotacap. Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

4. What medications are compatible with the Revolizer?

• Foracort Rotacaps (Budesonide + Formoterol)
• Tiova Rotacaps (Tiotropium)
• Salmeterol/Fluticasone combinations (if prescribed)

Only use Rotacaps specifically designed for Revolizer. Other capsule types are not suitable and may not work correctly.

5. Is the Revolizer reusable?

Yes, the Revolizer is a reusable inhalation device. However, it should be cleaned regularly and replaced periodically based on usage or if damaged. Avoid sharing it with others.

6. How should I clean the Revolizer?

Clean the device at least once a week:

• Disassemble the parts carefully.
• Rinse with warm water (without soap).
• Let it air dry completely before reuse.

Never use a wet device or try to clean it using sharp tools or cloths that shed fibers.

7. Can children use the Revolizer?

Yes, but under medical supervision. Children may need help from an adult to use the Revolizer correctly and consistently. Proper technique is crucial for effective delivery of medication.

8. What are the advantages of using the Revolizer?

• Easy to use and portable
• Breath-actuated — no need to coordinate pressing and inhaling
• Efficient delivery of dry powder medication
• Reusable and cost-effective

9. Does the Revolizer contain any medication?

No, the Revolizer is an empty device and does not contain any medicine on its own. It must be used with prescribed Rotacaps containing the required medication.
