Symbicort Turbohaler

I have been switched to a Symbicort turbohaler.

Does it charge properly if it clicks on the first turn of the red control and then not on the second turn?

I thought it was supposed to click on the second turn of the red control.

I’m worried I’m not getting any medication.

It only clicks once. I have used it for over 10 years and seldom taste or feel anything, BUT it works fine!

"To load your Symbicort Turbohaler with a dose, turn the red grip as far as it will go in one direction.

Then turn it as far as it will go in the other direction (it does not matter which way you

turn it first). You should hear a click sound. Your Symbicort Turbohaler is now loaded

and ready to use. Only load your Turbohaler when you need to use it."

Hi there, I have used Symbicort for many years and have had no problems with it. I can feel the benefit within around 30 minutes. You should be able to tell within a few days that the Symbicort is working because your symptoms will be relieved.

Good luck
