Comment:
At least three time the Redihaler has expelled the medicine when I open the cap- it does not seem to be breath activated! I am concerned when I fly- how does change in pressure impact the way it works? I will be going from 7000 feet to 500 feet- I'm not sure I trust this med being dispensed this way.

Comment:
AS A REGISTERED NURSE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT A BREATH ACTIVATED INHALER WORKS FOR VERY FEW WITH NARROWED AIRWAYS AND WEAK INHALAATION ABILITIES. POOR DESIGN, THAT LEAVES MANY CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, ADULTS, AND ELDERLY NOW WITHOUT AVAILABILITY TO THIS DRUG! SHAME ON THE STUPIDITY OF THIS DRUG COMPANY! GIVE PATIENTS A CHOICE OF THE ORIGINAL MDI, OR THS TERRIBLE REDIHALER.
