Since they have switched to the redi inhaler, it works for a week or so and then stops dispensing or runs out of medication. The past three months this has been happening and now my asthma is back to where it was over a year ago when I was first prescribed it.

The drug works but since they changed the package so Teva could charge more for it, the inhaler doesn't work properly. But what really bugs me is it now costs me $180 per inhaler. What a rip-off.

Since the makers of Qvar changed the dispenser Iâ??ve had difficulty dispensing the medication. About 1/4 or halfway thru it it stops working.

The new redi inhaler has caused me lots of problems. I never had any issues prior to this package change (over years with the new packag It works great when it is new and I have no symptoms with one puff a day. About halfway through the dose counter it seems to stop giving medicine and my symptoms get progressively worse. I have had the new package 3 times now and he problem is consistent each time. By the time I get to say 60 puffs I notice an issue. The time I kept going and went to 38 doses left I was doing a puff in the morning and at night but I was using abuterol 10 times in 24 hours. I got a new inhaler and started using that and symptoms immediately improved and I was able to go back to 1 puff a day. Again as long as I throw it out half way through the doses I am fine.
