Went to the emergency today. I used this inhaler for the first time, but forgot even after the doctor told me! I am very happy to receive your advice from the UA-cam. It really helped me a lot and everyone will get benefit. Thank you very much sir.😍👍😊
Thank you Walter, this is the first time I have used mine correctly.
Thank you! My daughter has been taking quick breaths that has caused more flare ups. I was able to show her this and she saw how slowly you did it. This helped!
Thank you for your comment on our inhaler video. I’m pleased it has helped your daughter improve her technique. If you haven’t seen it already perhaps My lungs My life would also be of interest to you both. mylungsmylife.org/
Thank you. I really prefer the Autohaler. But the medic now has given me Easi-Breathe.
Thanks very much. I find it so confusing but your video was clear and helpful - and I love your accent which reminds me of my life in Scotland
Thanks for this information.
thanks for information
Thanks learnt some stuff there.
thank you Walter :)
Thank you
Just completed my first complete 200 dose of this new device, sometimes it gave an indication I had inhaled the drug, sometimes it didn't, sometimes it went off as I lifted it up, sometimes when I was re-fixing the top when it came loose. I really don't know if I actually had the regular dose prescribed. Towards the end I tried storing it upright and this seems to have helped, the following inhalations were all successful. However, will try and get the old one on next prescription.
Hi
It sounds like you are unsure if you are receiving the correct dose of medication when using this inhaler. To check if you are, we would encourage you to make an appointment with your practice nurse. They will be able to observe you using the device, suggest any changes to your technique, or offer an alternative device.
If you would like any further advice or information please don’t hesitate to get in touch on our free phone number 0808 801 0899
Thank you! I coudn’t make head or tail of the manufacturer’s instructions.
Hi me and my 9 year old son got this I was taking the top of so there is no need to take the top of if my mouth is on it i just breath it in yes?
Thank you this is very helpful !
To use the inhaler you did not remove the top cap. Don't you have to?
did you not watch the film?
Really helpful thank you XX 🥰💖🌈
Do u have to shake it?
Thank you for your comment. It is important that you read and follow the instruction leaflet contained within the inhaler packaging before use.
As the medication within the Easi-Breathe inhaler is in a suspension the general advice is to shake the inhaler vigorously before use.

Mine didn’t click? What does that mean?
Hi Joan, thanks for getting in touch. If the device stops working you can follow the cleaning instructions supplied from the manufacturer. If the device still fails to work you should ask for a replacement from your prescriber or pharmacist. Thank you.
Can’t hear the clicking sound
My top part won’t come off
This designs so bad . First time use it and so hard to figure out how to use it ..
could not be clearer thank you
Still cant use this model lol i feel dumb...
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. You can seek advice from your pharmacist or respiratory nurse on inhaler technique or the need for a medication review. Hope this is helpful. Thanks.
Same here. So do you spray it or not? Take it in or release it all. So confusing.

How in the hell u pull the top off ...
The Easy Breathe Device is made so that the top does not need to come off when taking the medicine on a daily basis.
The device has a flip down cap where the mouth piece is. If you relook at the youtube video at about 4mins 47secs the gentleman in the clip shows you this. He then shows you how to take the required dose.
The cap should only ever come off - by rotating it gently - if the device has not been used for more than two weeks.
If you have any worries about taking your inhaler please see your pharmacist for help.
These things are dangerous in my opinion, if the patient is having a bad enough attack that they cannot inhale deeply enough to activate the inhaler they do not get a dose at all.
The only option is to remove the top completely and pump the canister manually, sound familiar? of course it does that is how inhalers have worked for years.
I would rather waste a dose by pumping manually rather than use these things, i have come in on my grandmother on the verge of passing out because she couldn't get the easibreath to operate.
I removed the top and got her to pump in manually and Voilà she was breathing normally again within minutes.
Thanks for commenting on the video. We would highly advise that the difficulties you are describing that your relative has with using the easi- breathe needs to be discussed with the doctor/healthcare professional.
This is the worst inhalator ever
Mine packed up after 4 days just wouldn’t work. Had to go back to the GP for a repeat prescription. When it did work I felt I wasn’t getting anything out of it. I hate it.
