I haven't had either of these inhalers but have been advised by my pharmacist whenever I have had a change of inhaler that it can be 2 - 4 weeks for them to be fully effective. Perhaps your pharmacist could advise specifically on your hubby's new inhalers.

Hi, it's very easy to be impatient when badly wanting some ease from breathing difficulties, you aren't on your own in that. Hope the new treatment does help.

best wishes
