Seabri inhaler

I'm new to this site. Am just wondering if anyone out there has the same problem as I do with the Seabri inhaler. Although it tells you to only pierce the capsule once, it takes me numerous times to pierce it. Have used them many times now and always have the same problem?

Yes I sometimes have that problem as well but not too often.Make sure the capsule is properly seated by pressing down on it gently and hold the inhaler firmly on a flat surface.I find this helps.

Only saw this just now. Thank you for replying. I do press it down but haven't tried to do it on a flat surface. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks again.

Mine did that the fourth time I used it. It's because the capsule isn't lying straight and the two pins which should pierce each end miss their target. If you keep pressing without giving the unit a little nudge it will keep missing. Just make sure that it's lying comfy in it little bed before shutting the door and you'll hit it first press. ;-)
