A change of inhaler can be worrying. Especially if they work. I changed inhaler a few months ago and found the new one just as affective. Nearly all inhalers have pros and cons to their use. In reality medications are very personal. What works for one may not work for another. So give it a month, see how it goes and if it does not suit you ask for a change.
