Perhaps you should go and see your asthma nurse and ask them to check the way you are using it is correct. If you don't want to wait until after the weekend, you could also go and see a pharmacist and ask them to watch how you do it to check your technique.

Hi Shannon

As previous post if you are seeing the dose of inhaler coming out of the spacehaler then you would be best to see either the pharmacist or asthma nurse as the technique needs tweaking have you looked on u tube for a video you can watch using a spacehaler you could follow might be worth checking

Hi Shannon97 ,

There's some information and a video on how to use a spacer on the Asthma UK website bit.ly/2rG6qtY Do give our nurses a ring if you need support and advice on our helpline on 0300 222 5800 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).

Thanks, Dita
