Seeking anonymous experiences of using the Symbicort inhaler in everyday life

[HappytoTalk]

Hello. This is not a clinical study, market research exercise or product promotion.
I work for a company that contributed to the development of the technology behind the Symbicort inhaler.
We are running a small internal project to help our scientists and engineers better understand what the devices they work on mean for the people who use them.
We would like to speak to one or two people who have experience of using Symbicort and would be comfortable talking about how it fits into everyday life.
We would not ask participants to comment to share anything they are uncomfortable discussing.
Contributions could remain anonymous, and nothing would be used externally.
Many thanks

I use this type of inhaler.

I use it too. Happy to help.

Yes, I have been using it for a few years. I get on well with it.

Turbohaler or MDI?

I used it for a year, it caused a very dry nose, though that would be the drug, not the design of the inhaler.

However I found it incompatible with using it in public, due to the noise it made. I've reverted to a standard wet inhaler since.

I use this inhaler happy to share my experiences

I use a turbohaler (brilliant!)

@Aparecium It's the MDI. Thanks.

I use the Turbohaler. The MDI gave me a hoarse voice.

@Aparecium I'm sorry to hear that. I know not all treatments work with everyone. We do not develop the medication that goes into the Symbicort, but the device itself, which is what I wanted to find out more about. Many thanks.
