swapping cannisters

[Jamesd1986]

Hello, hope everyone is ok during this high pollen season. Quick question - I recently received an easy breathe inhaler instead of my normal reliever inhaler. The cannister inside looks the same. Does anyone know if its safe for me to swap the cannister and use it in my old blue plastic case?Thanks

Hi Jamesd1986, I wouldn't recommend doing this. If you take the inhaler back to the pharmacy who dispensed it they should be able to swap it back to the one you wanted, or at least investigate for you why it was changed👍
