| Description | This is a Rybar Inhaler, presented in its original packaging. The packaging is a yellow, square cardboard box adorned with black text detailing the product’s specifics. The inhaler housed within the box is composed of three parts: a rubber pump, the inhaler’s body made of brown plastic featuring a filter and a twist mechanism at the end nearest the pump, and a twistable lid with an inhaler on the opposite end. The box’s description reads, “A robust non-metallic atomiser that produces a very fine spray. It is specifically designed for use with RYBARVIN INHALANT and other RYBAR inhalation products, but is equally suitable for any other liquid, be it aqueous or oily.” The leaflet is absent. The inhaler, while produced by Rybar Laboratories LTD in Dublin, was manufactured in England. This type of inhaler was utilised for asthma inhalant therapy, a treatment for a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. Treatments were placed in the rubber bulb and then inhaled through a mouthpiece or nose piece. |
