Hello, Thankyou for asking. I was at my appt. yesterday and they did give me a sample of Airsupra to try. I have only taken 1 dose today as thought I should do it slowly in case of allergy to the budesonide in it. Its been hard to find what works since I have a lot of allergies to different meds. Have you tried it? I know it's new on the market and I don't find to many reviews yet. Any comments much appreciated. Thankyou for your time.

I use Airsupra's close cousin, a combination inhaler of formoterol and budosenide. (Symbicort , or generic Breyna)
The difference is formoterol is a LABA (long-acting beta agonist) - albuterol is a SABA (short-acting beta agonist)
After a week, I was able to cut back on my levalbuterol nebs, eventually dropping them almost completely (except if my bronchiectasis flares). And I can count on 2 hands the number of times I have used the rescue inhaler in the past year. They now expire before I use them up!

I previkusly had air hunger and chest pain that have been 95% relieved - so the low dose inhaled steroid has been a game changer for me.
Have you tried the Airsupra yet?

Sue
