Symbicort PMI v turbohaler

[Catbutler]

Hi, I have just had my symbicort dose increased so changed from 100 to 200 inhaler. The asthma nurse prescribed, I think by mistake, a pressured meter inhaler (PMI) instead of the turbohaler I am used to. The pharmacist asked me if I was happy with this and I thought I might as well give it a go instead of going back to get the prescription changed. Has anyone here changed from turbohaler to PMI, and did you notice any difference? Thanks

The spray inhaler has only been available for a couple of months. In theory it should be no different. In saying that, if you prefer the turbohaler just ask for it to be swapped over.

Thanks Steven, going to try it for a few days but seems OK so far. I dont have a problem using ventolin inhaler and the technique is similar.
