whats peoples thoughts on this inhaler? I am hopeful this will be the one for me after many changes. Only thing is when i use it doesnt feel like anything is coming out lol i am told this is just how the inhaler is and it is working

It’s the best one I've ever had in 40 years.

[ash160808 in reply to Lynneypin]

can you notice the powder coming out? I turn the red base both ways till i hear a click

[Wheezycat]

Me, too. I have got on with it so well! I have now been on it for 3 years. And though I don’t actually notice the powder, it clearly works as it has been so much better for me than Clenil was.

I can't feel it but can kind of taste it (ever so slightly). Same with my Bricanyl dry powder. However, with my Pulmicort I can never feel or taste anything - the registrar in hospital assured me it will still be coming out though.

[Lynneypin]

No powder visible.

Don't notice anything at all, but improved my lung function significantly.

thank you all for your comments

[Chrissie0151]

It works great for me too.

Hi ash, it didn't work for me as have got this cough that I've had since late 2017 & have been trying various preventor inhalers since & none work to shift it, going back Wed to see the nurse & no doubt yet another change & go back again

I'm not trying to alarm you, but it doesn't work for all of us, but hopefully it will for you
