Turbohaler | How To Use A Turbohaler (Symbicort Pulmicort Bricanyl)

[@adityavedula5447]

I like the way you give the total information about it!

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Glad it was helpful Aditya! Sending awesome vibes :)

[@knd1940]

My wife uses the Turbuhaler and this is the most informative video we've seen. But when she uses it there's never a whistling sound so we thought she wasn't inhaling strongly enough. Then we noticed that her model had no hole at the bottom, just some slits on the side, which is presumably why it doesn't make a whistling sound.

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Glad I could help! The one used in this video is a demonstration device which has the whistle, most actual Turbohalers don't have this.

[@johngoss367]

Been using the Symbicort Turbuhaler for over 2 years now. This is the most informative video I've seen on it, thank you.

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@atifkm09]

What are your thoughts about this. Any side effects?

[@jacobbuchan4584]

I just got one of these for my asthma and I hate it i way prefer the normal inhaler

[@joelyoungcbi]

My doctor prescribed Symbicort to get me through the night. I do two inhales before bed and I'm good to go. It's not 'normal' but it works.

[@diybronwynsmith263]

Yes I agree and my chest hurts to suck in the air I have had the flu chest congestion and fell and now have a probable hairline fracture on my ribs right side kinda sucks but I’m a first time user of this turbo haler I will give it time mines steroidal and regular bronchodilator but to fast inhale is kinda hard, for me but due to my rib injuries it should be fine regularly. Thanks 🙏I don’t think mine has a whistle though or my inhale is not strong enough ? It looks the same but ? Heellllpppp

[@leroy5376]

I just took a dose the correct way, I thank you for helping me to do it correctly. I got it today for the first time and noticed I didn't didn't inhale it strong enough today. I will inhale stronger so that it reaches my lungs. *Much appreciated* *SUBSCRIBED*

Thank you so much Abraham for a very informative video. I just got my first turbohaler today, and it is definitely a more complicated process than say a normal Ventolin reliever! You also included info on use that I would have otherwise been unaware of, so it is really appreciated. All the best.

[@charanjitsingh6768]

Would have been helpful if you clearly specified when you primed it the first time with two rotations it was loaded for the first dose.

[@Angelique517]

I accidentally turned it multiple times. Did it use up those doses? It is the first time I am using it.

[@CarolSidwell]

Thank you for such comprehensive instruction. Very helpful. Should the counter no go down each time a dose is used? I am new to using the inhaler and it hasn't happened, I hope to hear from you.

[@marliprice1983]

Same here! I’m not sure if it’s working properly because i haven’t seen the counter move

[@doriannebuttigieg9155]

The counter does not show single doses. If I remember correctly it shows per 20 doses or so. At he end, when the counter shows zero, there is still a lot of powder in the base of the turbohaler. Now am wondering. This could be because the doses were not properly inhaled (not strong enough) & does that mean that though the counter shows zero one can continue using the remaining powder in this particular inhaler?

[@AhmedDaw76]

I've bought this inhaler two days from the pharmacy, and I used it as the doctor showed me (nearly the as you did in this video)..but the counter is still on 60 as in the first time of use and didn't change!!

[@abeerhussen7723]

Same

[@johnrouth6117]

They don't change until after every 5 uses. Check the pamphlet to see what yours says.

[@susansommer1463]

Very helpful video thank you. Just did my first dose. I’m an expert now 😅

[@JudithGaryVance]

Received this Symbicort Turbuhaler from a pharmacist In Turkey. Found video demonstration in English. Did all the steps including correct inhalation but it did not whistle like it did on the video. The pharmacy did not have Advair HFA inhaler to use with aerochamber which I would have preferred.

I watched a video instruction on Pulmicort maker's website before using it, but it didn't seem to work because they didn't give us all the tiny details that you explained.

[@flashofquiksilver]

See this is super frustrating, because the packaging from Symbicort says to turn each direction twice (counter then clockwise, then another counter and another clockwise). I’ve been double turning it and the dosage counter has been going down at double the speed!! So frustrating. Thanks for making this video!

[@jfriolo8765]

You will only do that twice on first use of your turbohaler. For the succeeding use, you will just twist it once.

[@tobiasberntsson8654]

@@jfriolo8765 i accually forgot to turn it twice the first time i used it.. Do you know if it got primed the next time i used it? Its like a 12 hour time betweeen the twists by then... Otherwise i havent gotten any use of it now for 1 week?? :O

Hello thank you so much for this video. Since one week my mom has been using that and just confirm me if I need to repeat once the rotation each time i use it for inhalation because I did the rotation twice at the first usage then we did not do the twisting !!!! I guess we’ve been using it wrong !!!!?

Hi Abraham 👋🏻 I'm already a turbohaler pro! 🤣 Ives been using Bricanyl since I was a kid. I'm 41 now. I'm just wondering - do you know if there is a particular reason asthmatics are being transferred to this inhaler? I was on Kelhale (beclometasone) as a preventer, and Bricanyl reliever for years! Just last week, our clinical pharmacist switched me to Symbicort only. For both prevention and relief. Any idea why? Be well sir 🙏🏻
