It’s the best one I've ever had in 40 years.

Me, too. I have got on with it so well! I have now been on it for 3 years. And though I don’t actually notice the powder, it clearly works as it has been so much better for me than Clenil was.

I can't feel it but can kind of taste it (ever so slightly). Same with my Bricanyl dry powder. However, with my Pulmicort I can never feel or taste anything - the registrar in hospital assured me it will still be coming out though.

No powder visible.

Don't notice anything at all, but improved my lung function significantly.

It works great for me too.

Hi ash, it didn't work for me as have got this cough that I've had since late 2017 & have been trying various preventor inhalers since & none work to shift it, going back Wed to see the nurse & no doubt yet another change & go back again

I'm not trying to alarm you, but it doesn't work for all of us, but hopefully it will for you

Not what you're looking for?
