Pulmicort turbohaler

I was prescribed a Pulmicort turbohaler last week by my gp after sending two weeks of peak flow readings. When you use it can you taste anything as I don’t know whether I’m actually using it properly , I have an appointment with the asthma nurse Friday but just thought I’d ask on here . Thank you x

Hi Westie2012

There is some great advice on our sister charity's website Asthma UK on using a Turbohaler and I have added a link for you below. I hope you find it useful.
