Press Release Summary = Counterstrip announces new easy to use dose counter for
metered dose inhalers and other medications.

Press Release Body = Counterstrip has just announced a new easy to use dose counter
to keep up with the doses of metered dose inhalers typically used for allergies,
asthma, emphysema and COPD. The disposable strips use a \"scratch-off\" technique
typically found on lottery tickets. Once a dose is taken, the patient scratches off
the dose count and can tell at a glance, both the number of doses taken and the
number of doses remaining. The Counterstrips are also color coded to maintain a
total dose count for inhalers that exceed 100 doses.
Medicated inhaler manufacturers typically do not provide a means of dose counting
and it is left up to the individual to maintain the dose count through other means.
The Counterstrip offers an excellent alternative since surveys reveal that most
users guess their remaining doses and do not maintain a proper dose count. If doses
are not counted, the patient cannot properly predict when a prescription refill is
necessary and also, may use the inhaler beyond the guaranteed dosage and therefore,
not receiving the proper combination of medications in the inhaler.
