Hi! My GP has asked if I'd be willing to switch to the powder form of beclometasone. I agreed, however when I inhale , I don't have the sensation that the powder is coming out of the inhaler at all! Is this normal? (I have clicked to release the powder before inhaling). Thanks 😊

Your technique must be spot on, I use a dry powder inhaler and only feel it when I’ve not been quite right with the angles.
I was recently on Beclometasone Easyhaler and couldn't taste the powder but definitely felt dry powder at the back of my mouth/throat, but it's very fine (just tried it to answer your question). It's just enough to know whether I've taken a dose and to feel the need to drink or rinse. I've never had an issue of it delivering a dose, unlike Eklira Genuair or Spirits which often fails to deliver a dose. Fostair is very difficult to feel or taste.
If you are unsure about it then I would return it to the pharmacy for a replacement. It's unlikely that two inhalers would fail to work.
Not what you're looking for?
