If you have a Turbohaler? here is a video showing how to use it:

This type is self actuated, meaning you have to suck/inhale the dose.

An Aerochamber is for volatilized, medications, that have a propellant. If you have the self actualized turbohaler type, the Aerochamber won't work.

Which do you have? Technique for volatilized inhalers is different from a turbohaler device.

Here is the picture of the Symbicort 160/4.5:

And, this is the picture of the chamber I was referring to:
