I started using this today and am reading the comments. This must be the most difficult to use product on earth. The designers missed the point of "user friendly" products
Exactly it is so dumb
Why on earth make it so complicated? I can't even taste it to know if I've taken it correctly or not
I agree
Not that difficult after a few uses .. I can do it without having to focus now
Hmmmmmm, bad industrial design on this product. Ugh.
Don’t forget to wash your mouth afterward to avoid fungal infection (candida)
No wonder some people get confused, you can see in youtube two versions of using turbuhaler, some say to rotate it clockwise and the other say vice versa.
Dependent om the medication.
this is one of the worst mechanisms I have ever seen on any kind of anything before. When you are dependent upon it to be able to breathe, it shouldn't be this difficult..
yes, the clicking thing drives me mad as I'm told it'll click clockwise but mine clicks anti-clockwise... my first dose could have been an overdose since I got confused and clicked thrice, excludes the two clicks I was told to do to prime the inhaler...
Thank you it really helps
thanks that was helpful
What happens if you twist it just one time? I forgot to the second time and I donno if I just inhale a bunch of medicine
The best part is there it's no instruction on the turbohaler itself. Genius.
I have double pneumonia and asthma I perpetually get this wrong
This is the dopiest design in the history of medicine dispensers. The people that invented it, approved it, and put it on the market should all never work in the pharmaceutical business again.
It works though.
@@hughmungus1235 it works if you can get it into your lungs! I even tried that little piece of black paper on the instructions where it said if you're doubting if it comes out push it on there and see if there's any have powder. There wasn't. I have looked at 4 different CZcams things to try to figure it out. I'm so disgusted, but the worst thing is I still can'tbreathe. The first person on this thread was right this is just an idiotic and very difficult to use thing. I'm old and I don't have any idea how kids make it
@@MexicoDigDoctor Talk to your pharmacist they can walk you through the procedure. Good luck
@@margaretpilon3694 thank you so much and I did. I got some of the strongest NuWave anybody else that you can that should say any biotics but my voice program is off.I went yesterday to the clinic and I talked him into letting me take them by mouth so that I could come home. I have cats and I don't want to be stuck in hospital. I very much appreciate your interest and your advice and I took it and I am good to go for the duration. Thank you so much and God bless you and I hope you are
@@MexicoDigDoctor what's nuwave ? Is it a medicine for the lungs ?
je suis tres sastifait de cette appareils Je l`utilise correctement
The worst thing is that you do not feel any of the medicine passing through your mouth as you inhale. It makes me really nervous that I haven't actually inhaled any.
I just watch for the side effects to appear - faster heartbeat and hand tremor. 🙂
I wish I could keep using the Asmanex Twisthaler, which was both much simpler to use and could be tasted in the mouth.
I feel the same so I ended up inhaling 4 doses or more and minutes later I'm having mild hand tremors 🤦♀️
This is so true! Its so difficult to use. I inhaled 3 times. The doctor said 2 only. My heart feels heavy and hands are shaking
actually there IS a taste you can perceive, maybe it’s just me but i can taste each dose while and after inhaling, a bitter taste followed by a dry tongue even after drinking water. 🤷🏻♂️
Difficult to use
I have used so many inhalers in my life, and i swear this one does absolutely nothing
This shit is so confusing, it’s ridiculous 😂
Está diseñado sin olor ni sabor, pero si se hacen varias inhalaciones puede producir mareo y somnolencia
Does this not give you life.
Thank you...
As this is over 10 years old video, anyone has side effects of this which they can share.
Does acute bronchitis cause depression and sadness for no reason?
I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me.
I don't know if I am inhaling anything but air!
The indicator stays the same...ie it says 60 and after rotation, forward& back, (click, breathe), it is,still at 60 though i tried a few times!
pleave go to the doctors office, thats not
supposed to happen, good luck
Read the instructions. For The 60 and the 120 puffs, the rate of changing on the inhaler is from 10 to 10 uses. For The 30 puffs inhaler îs from 15 uses. Read the paper that was in the inhaler's box...
Samee my inhaler also doesn't change numbers nor it clicks the 2nd time but i can feel the medicine taste after inhaling it.... Is it normal?
One vdo clip said, don’t worry if the number didn’t change (bcoz it show amount left over inside)..it’s will turn only after 20(more or less) using times.
I turn it like 20x cuz i was confused then inhaled it, so what happen if i turn multiple time?
BROOOO IM THINKING THE SAME THING? DID I LOSE THE DOSES?
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Every time you use it you need to turn the system both directions, or just the first time? Also, I'm hearing a "click" in both turns, not just the second ??
You should rotate for each dose and also the click is for every dose you prepare.
Hold middle part and turn base clockwise till it stop, and then click base anticlockwise till you hear a click. Exhale out and breath from top part a long breath and then gargle your mouth
@@mrrtifosi Thanks
@@atifkm09 Thanks
my instructions say the first time.. but now im thinking i got to turn every time because I can taste it
Bad design
I used mdi had symptom control
After using symbicort turbuhaler i had exacerbation of symptoms
Either due to flaw in design or something else
I dont like this i feel nothing i dont know if i use correctly or not its confusing😢
What if you click twice but inhale once? Also, do you inhale on the click side or the turn it back to the non click side?
Hold middle part and turn base clockwise till it stop, and then click base anticlockwise till you hear a click. Exhale out and breath from top part a long breath and then gargle your mouth
@@atifkm09yes, but its already on the clockwise end of the twist. So I can turn iz only anticlockwise (click part)
i dont think it matter just always turn each way once
Q: dose says 0, but I shake the inhaler and feel like it's still full. Infact I shook new one and the old one. They seem to be at the same full level. 😒
It will always feel like that, it's the drying powder that makes sure the medicine doesn't aggregate and collect moisture
Am I supposed to feel the powder going through my throat? I've done everything the instructions say and after inhaling it after the click, I feel like I'm just sucking in air. Please help
You're not supposed to feel or taste powder. As long as you're following the instructions and breathe in strong enough to hear a whistle sound, it'll work.
Why isnt the counter going down when i do it and also i can only twist it to the left and then right what do i do
the counter doesn't go down for each dose, i think it only moves about every five doses, so no need to worry about that.
When you inhale, does the powder get into our mouth or just the air thing? Because I have used it twice, and the steps I did were all right, but when I try to inhale; I don't feel anything, to me, it just feels like I just inhaled, for nothing.
Another youtuber said it was tasteless, so you don't feel anything when inhaling.
Same here.
Same here, I repeated it 4 times!
I think the inhaler is not working 😂
Bruh the first reply already said its tasteless, ur inhaling microscopic medicine u cant feel it in ur mouth since its far too small and it has no taste
If you inhale this you will feel mild bitter taste. But no powder will go inside. First you have to turn one side after you have to turn the orange color other side then you will here the click sound. Now you can use
What if I accidently rotate a little the mouthpiece what will happen? Is there a changes?
Nothing that's meant to spin freely 🙂 no worries !
How do I get the medicine out of the container and into my lungs? There is no button. No release. Is it a spray or not? Am I supposed to suck on it? This video didn't help at all.
my doses didn't go down after I inhale this thing it's something wrong with my inhaler or it's just a thing?
hey im having the same problem, did u find a fix?
When science is making things easy day by day I donot know who invented this inhaler in this modern time it is highly confused and we donot know if repeated rotations put more medicinal in chamber or it just hold only one time medicine
At least if this design was the only option then at least it should be transparent so that one could see weathe the medicine is loaded or not or weather the medicine is one dose or multiple doses 😭😭😭😭
Do I need to rinse my mouth after use?
If it contains a corticosteroid, then yes. Rinse mouth after each and every use.
@@Imran-wd2nr Thankyouu
It is help for smokers??
For asthma
No. This is to help prevent asthma/reduce the severity of asthma attacks and is used as a reliever when someone is having an asthma attack
how 8m gonna know that i inhale the medication?
Do I need to repeat the twisting procedure every single time I use? Or only 1st time?
Every time
Twist Clockwise then counter clockwise then inhale
My instructions leaflet says to turn back and forth TWICE, not once. So basically 2 clicks. Why does my instructions say to turn in for 2 clicks instead of once like in the video??
i have turned until the re is click sound then i try to inhale but didnt feel anything so i turned multiple times and then only inhale it. dont know if i am overdose or what😅
and now i can taste the bitterness in my mouth. why do we have to gargle¿
I don’t really feel anything at all. Is it normal? or I just messed up?
I though it wasn't not work, but it's normal. Don't worry :)
Francyelle de Vicente thank you so much!😁
I have just got the turbohaler and I have the same issue with it. Did you persist with it?
@@delboy9617 I just got it last week and I still can't breathe and I can't make the thing work. I read several languages, including English, French,Spanish, and Italian. I cannot make this thing work for all the tea in China. I am so disgusted and I am going to go back to my doctor and figure out if there is something that is out there that would be better. I know there is another one that is much more expensive and is actually a spray.I hate to spend the money, but if I'm not going to be able to breathe, then I guess it's going to be worth
@@MexicoDigDoctor I have went to another preventer. Have you tried an 'Easyhaler'? This works much better. I take beclomethasone from an easyhaler
Question.. This is my first time to use turbuhaler this morning. I doubt nothing comes out when i inhaled the turbuhaler. How to know if there comes out? Or is there significant taste?. Pls help me
I don't think so, when I use it you can't feel the powder at all.
xXStarStruckXx Yeah!! me too I couldn’t feel it the first time so I was confused that nothing worked and then I didi it second time😂😂
Their is a significant taste to it
I am experiencing the same issue (just got turbohaler) did you persist with it or ask for something else?
Del boy I persist to it. Sooner if you just continue using, you can taste the medicine. Especially if you take 2 inhales...🙂🙂
Does the number changes after we use like its showing 120 does it change to 119 aft 1 st dose of inhalation...
yes it should move.. I inhaled without having to click and it still moved😳 so then i turned it to hear the click, the numbers moved after I inhaled and could taste a bit of powder. My instructions say I only need to turn and click the first time only and not have to do it again😳🥴 Ok I feel lost lol.
I just wish those wankers made their paper instructions of use a bit more clear.
With medicine the instructions have to be foolproof.
I still don’t understand
Im stuck on step one how do i unscrew this shit
What if i twist THE TOP PART?
Nothing at all. The only purpose of this feature is to help to unscrew and remove the inhaler cap easier. I was also curious about it 😁
@@milosstojanovic9805 thanks 😃
It's my first time using it, it's so weird I felt and tastes nothing so I repeated it 3x.. am I going to die from overdose?
i did it like 5x lol are you still alive?
@@gangamiin What happened to you? Hahah fortunately, I'm still alive 🤣
max dose is 6 per 24 hours, as long you don't clicked 6 times in a day it should be okay... it drove me nuts as well at first as I can't taste anything hence wasn't sure if I clicked it correctly... eventually found out to stop rotating once it clicks, it loaded once it clicks... so I just kept mine in the direction that doesn't click then turn once to click it before usage... telling me to turn one direction then another until it clicks triggers unnecessary anxiety...
I met some others whose inhaler clicks both ways, so I not sure how that'll be...
@@silcosilva same with that rotation part. Unnecessary complication. Who the hell invented this method of treatment.
@@illestvillain1971 precisely right... why can't it just be like the ordinary inhaler...
It’s a serious inhaler that’s why it’s not normal to be using this every month or everyday but I understand I was clueless as much as y’all💀
Hi
I just started using this spray twice a day
why do you think it's dangerous?
@@Ali-il6pn bro what who said it was dangerous
Most difficult inhaler to use. How about old people 🤔. I am going back to my purple puffer.
I get migraines after using it
This is the worst piece of equipment ever invented. AstraZenica should be ashamed for selling this product.
This design really is shit, but the medication comes in puffer form as well, it's called Rapihaler (the name is ridiculous, I know). Consider asking your doctor about it next time, symbicort is too got to miss out on because the design team was high on everything there is when designing Turbuhaler lol
I’m sorry but if I’m in the middle of dying from an asthma attack I doubt I’ll be able to do this lol
My thoughts exactly!what a silly and backward mechanism
All videos I watched and the instructions are all different. Wtf
Who invented this ? It's supposed to be better than a pump but it's crap
The designers of this thing were psychopaths.
Who approved this for distribution anywhere? This doesn’t work at all. Now what? Go back to my doctor for another appointment, another trip to the pharmacy. People should be banned from the medical industry for profiting in any way from this thing.
Ok how much did everyone pay for this shit. 16 quid for me
Worst designs products.
The stupidest solution I have ever seen in my life. I turn right then left and NOTHING happens. I recovered myself and I threw the medicine intact into the trash
