Have you tried rinsing the plastic body of the inhaler? The drug there can collect and block the hole (esp if not shaken enough before each use)
Just an idea 😅
It’s because you have to rince it, the spray hole gets gradually blocked by some medicine residue. The cleaning instructions come in the leaflet in your box and it usually says to clean it once a week or something.
I've experienced the same problem and the GP recommended taking the inhalers back to the pharmacy for a replacement, but looks like it'd be worth trying rinsing it first...which I have not tried myself yet by the way!
