The new design RediHaler is defective. It stops delivering the medication with more than half the medication left in the canister. My asthma symptoms were out of control before I realized the problem was with not getting any medication from the inhaler. The older Qvar aerosol inhaler was much more reliable and effective.

The new Redihaler fails when medication is still half full.

Qvar was working great I til they switched to the redihaler which has had nothing but problems. Squirts while closing the cover after inhalation. Not getting correct dose. Can’t tell if I got a complete dose. Then asthma gets worse so I know it’s not working. I found a hack. Peel off the label and twist top part counterclockwise and it comes off. Remove cap. Use like a traditional inhaler.

My asthma was well-controlled for years on this drug, until they switched to the Redi inhaler. I've had to use the rescue inhaler more times this year than I had the previous 10. Will have to try a different medication from a different manufacturer. This inhaler is dangerous. I'm an adult, can't imagine how a parent would tell whether a child is getting his medication.

It worked very well for me before they went to the redi-haler. Now, it is difficult to use and I can't get a proper dose. I end up having to use my rescue inhaler several times a day. Kind of defeats the purpose of the inhaled steroid. I'm going to talk with my doc about finding a different medication.
