design flaw in symbicort turbohaler

Have you ever noticed when you go to breath in your medication from your turbohaler, sometimes it is hard to breath in, and other times it seems realy easy to breath in?

That is because each time you put the lid back on the turbohaler it turns the mouth piece around a bit. SO it will be luck of the draw each time you untwist your lid to go use your turbohaler the mouthpiece you put your lips on would have shifted a bit .

Quite a strong statement!

Symbicort was introduced in 2000 and I have never heard of any complaint such as yours.

I have used Symbicort, Pulmicort and Oxis; all have similar containers and in over 10 years I have NEVER experienced any flow problems such as you have reported.

I believe you have mentioned this before?

Surely you just turn the turbohaler round a little! I've never had a problem.
