From my experience, misuse of inhalers is very common.

The 160 strength of Symbicort is the stronger one too.

I think her doctor gets the Aerochambers as samples, to help prevent thrush and other side effects.

The aerosolized drugs are suspended in the air, and if you inhale well, you get them properly. But Idiopathic claims shortness of breath, so maybe her doctor suspects she cannot do it in one breath?

I find this doctor to be quite helpful and professional, and concerned to provide the Aerochamber, under these circumstances. Most doctors don't give a hoot!
