TANBC003, i think you are confused with the metered dose inhaler.. turbohaler, u dont'tknee to hold it upright

[JudiTheWitch]

I taste nothing and it gives me no effect. Also if I turn it upside down after I click it and give it a shake, nothing comes out. I'm quite convinced mine is a placebo.

Turbohaler should be help upright when loading a dose, but isn't necessary when doing the inhalation. In fact, if you keep the device upright when inhaling, this means you are probably going to be bending your head forwards in order to do it, which could possibly impede the drug from going into your lungs to some degree, and instead causing it to deposit in the mouth.

Well you are meant to hold the Turbuhaler vertical when you load a dose. But keeping it vertical when inhaling is impossible lol.

Only necessary for medications containing corticosteroids such as Pulmicort and Symbicort.

And....rinse your mouth out after each use...

[TANBC003]

this is wrong technique of using the turbuhaler. you should hold it upright when u inhale it.
