Turbuhaler (Symbicort) inhaler demonstration and review

How to use the Turbuhaler inhalers (such as Symbicort). I demonstrate the correct inhaler technique, review the inhaler and give you tips on how to use it more efficiently and prevent common side effects.
Always discuss with your doctor about your inhaler treatment, to make sure you are using it appropriately for your own particular case. Never make changes to your medication without consulting your own doctor first.

I was annoyed that my doctor only told me what to get and didn't explain anything after. These tips are more than helpful. Thank you doctor, and get well soon everyone.

[@drey1808]

Thank you very much. This is very helpful.

[@brendagore1115]

I always look up the medication

[@theno3554]

Thank you very much! I just got it and wasn't sure if it was working. You explained everything very well and made it very intuitive to use.

[@margaretk2208]

Thank you! Very good demonstration. You didn’t rush showing and demonstrating the product as the pharmacy intern 😯

[@bokicabo9932]

Thank you very much for this excellent presentation how to use this medecine! I.m a new member of the "allergic asthmatics club" and I.m just starting to use this inhaler. You helped me a lot. All the best, greetings from Belgrade, Serbia!

I was confused on how to use it, this is so helpful. Thank you ✨

[@rabbaniclarke3579]

I was given one today, and I decided to check and know how to use it. This information was helpful. I'm grateful 🙏🏽

[@Holly707]

Thank you so much for demonstrating to us the proper way of using our inhaler. I was so confused even though it was explained to me by my pharmacist. I needed to know to use my medicine so that i can be confident its working for me the right way. Thank you, much appreciate it. ❤

[@Faszem]

This video was really helpful! I wish I had did a bit of video research to visually see how to use this inhaler properly. I followed the instructions that came in the box with the inhaler but after watching this video, I now know where I went wrong and that I took 2 x doses more than I was suppose to. Thank you for your video, it was really educational and beneficial for me!

[@christineoviedo5036]

No instructions by my family doctor. Pharmacist rushed me through as well. Wow, this video was so great!! Thank you so much. Especially that there is no taste at all, just a slight taste in the back of my throat. Gargle,swish and spit. Several times is good. Very very helpful video. Especially how to inhale it. Apprecuared.

[@user-fz1lm2si6n]

You very well explained and demonstrated how to use it ...all my queries in mind were answered..Thank you very very much, Doc. You are the only video where I got the clearest and complete information that I needed to know... Thank you so much....

[@jlbennie4603]

Thank you! Your content is very informative. I've been using this for a year and it works really well. Very helpful esp. whenever I'm having sudden asthma attack due to pollen or dust exposure. Symbicort is both rescuer and anti inflammatory drug which saves me anytime anywhere. The best kind of treatment given to me so far

[@trackmaster2000]

Thank you so much for your really informative video. Really appreciate it. The only issue with this device is the lack of taste or feel. Glad you mentioned about the scratchy feel at the back. I'm from Malaysia and glad I was able to find your video

[@adinet-wd9hy]

For me the lack of feel and taste of the powder is the main issue of this inhaler. Cause how can one tell if a dose has been taken and the inhaler isn't- for instance broken... :/

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

I understand this can be an issue, however if you are using it correctly and feeling the effect/controlling your condition then it shouldn't be a problem . But I can see why you may have some trust issues regarding its use. Do discuss this with your doctor if it is really concerning you

[@shahaniquillo]

Me too

[@DavaoXCEvents]

true. this is my first time to take the inhaler and i managed to take 4 doses because i thought it was a flop due to no taste and the number counter did not budge. beginners can easily overdose because of this problem.

[@prasammehta1546]

@@DavaoXCEvents yes exactly. I took twice. There are other good inhaler with some taste which make you feel that you have taken it

[@Summer-xw8xn]

I think main problem with this inhaler is the inhaler itself. it's so complicated

Great instructional video!! Just a quick question, what happens if after you inhale your dose accidentaly turn it clockwise? do you leave it like this and just turn it counterclockwise when you use it after 12 hours?

Mines is for Sarcoidosis and I inhale 2 times in morning and 2 times at night - about 12 hours apart. This is on top of Steroids and Anti-biotics - which due to relieving the pain and hours of coughing at times means the steroid has been adjusted to a lower dose now. And now I know why I sound like Barry White now.

I agree with you! The leaflet doesn't help. This video was great and extremely helpful & my mum was able to use the inhaler after watching this video.

[@peterayoub418]

Thank you so much

[@liltetsuni]

Thank you so much, the pharmacist was too busy to tell me how to use it, and watching other videos didn’t preemptively answer my concerns about not being able to tell if I used it correctly.

[@yuko604]

Yes, I agree. The explanation about the dose counter window was good. The indicator on mine when I first opened it up had only white notches so I didn't know if the dose was dispensing correctly. I haven't used it enough for the number increments to show in the window yet. This video explains it better than my neighborhood pharmacist.

THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THE SIDE AFFECT OF HOARSE VOICE

[@radicalveg00]

In the case of Symbicort, it's quite confusing. There are apparently two types of inhalers they offer. One is a dry powder inhaler called the turbuhaler, which Dr. Stefan is demonstrating in his videos. The other is a metered-dose inhaler, called a rapihaler. They both offer the same combination of drugs in the same amounts, but the rapihaler is dispensed with a gas called hydrofluoroalkane. The user breathes in this not-so-benign-sounding gas along with the drugs. Apparently, the turbuhaler is not offered in the U.S.

[@algernoncarlie5492]

Thank you Doctor! that's very helpful. However, from your professional perspective, do you think adding a feedback system on a DPI that tells patients how long should they breathe ( for quantifying the standard of "depth") , other than sound feedback for forceful breath (over 40L/min), could reducing training complexity? (just asking out of interest 😁)

[@susanmuthoni5482]

Very helpful thank you🙏

[@leemanism]

Does it matter when the click happens? Meaning, does it matter if I hear it during the first turn or the second turn?
