I do not understand why they changed this medicine. My 7 year old is having difficulties with this medicine. I am going to have to change to another medicine for controlling her asthma.

I too have had more problems with the new inhaler. My asthma is acting up after years of no problems. Such a disappointment.

Who can we contact about this new design? I asked my pharmacy with no suggestions. The new design fails to gove a proper dose by about 30 inhalation uses. It either puffs out a huge amount or it comes out very slowly, longer than I can inhale. I Will have to chance drugs because this one is scary to use. You chat depend on the correct dose.

I've been using an an inhaled corticosteroid for many years to control my asthma. I REALLY don't like the new "RediHaler" container. It is bulky and tends to tip over and fall on the floor. I liked the old packaging a lot better.
