Does anyone else have trouble opening the symbicort 400/12 inhaler for the first time? Have noticed over the last year or so that they have become more difficult. I'm 72 and have to get my husband to open which he doesn't find that easy. The last time I had to open a new one my husband was out . I had to resort to nut crackers to open it.

I found it difficult with my arthritic fingers until I got the knack of pressing the sides in before pulling it down.

thank you, I will try that next time.
I suggest having a word with your pharmacist to see if they can help.
Yes the first time I got one I asked them to load it. But as above its a bit like those caps. Press sides in first. Ask pharmacy they can help if not.
Thanks Cazza will definitely try that
Best. To use a sharp. Object. And slice it. Take care paul
