Fostair inhaler

I took one of my Fostair inhalers apart the other day and found that they contain lots more powder than the device tells you.

If it's a dry powder inhaler it could have been the desiccant you saw.

That's really interesting, what's going on there do you think? Is it the next air version?

Fostair inhaler is a dry powder inhaler and I don't know what you mean

" took one of my Fostair inhalers apart the other day and found that they contain lots more powder than the device tells you."

Fostair and metered doses and when you have took them, you chuck the plastic away.

If you think there is a problem, find out from the pharmacy.

I had taken all 120 doses as stated on the packaging and inhaler unit. My curious mind decided to take the inhaler apart to see how it works and I found that it still had some powder inside of the inhaler.

Can't see it would work though and if it did, just discard it, That's what I would do with mine - probably just residue.

Not what you're looking for?
