I was given that tip too but I also weigh them. I know what they weigh when new and every so often if I think they are running low. Have the little flat electronic scale, very accurate.

You would think they would make them with a counter. They make most of the inhalers with a counter. Just not the one you use the most

that's a god tip - thankyou xx piggi

Ticks me off that even the newer inhalers don't alwasy have counters on them. When I start my ciclisonide I have to work out how many actuations there are and devide it by the number of times a day I have to use it and then work out when it needs to be replaced and put the date on.

That's an excellent tip...I shake mine...which doesn't tell me a thing!

Wow I have the same trouble too with my inhaler. This is a great way to tell so thanks very much for posting it. x

I just take the aerosol out of its holder and give it a shake. You can feel if there's anything in it, or not.

Splendid tip. Many thanks for passing it on.

Great tip I very often go to use mine & find it has run out then frantically search for another one. I will try all your tips.

Thank you

You can get counters in USA

epill.com/doser.html

but as they are more expensive than the ventolin, the NHS probably think its cheaper to throw away half used ones than check how much is left.

Will try this thank you.

I weigh mine, comparing the weight against a new one. I can hear if there is something in there when shaking it but of course not how much of course.

hello popsie, I will try this as only get one inhaler every 56 days but doesn't water go inside it? just wondered xxx
