Have you had your inhaler misfire?

Unfortunately, this has become a problem with several of the steroid inhalers - either by themself or as a combination medication. You must contact the manufacturer - and at least they will have enough people who report this - so providers and patients will know this is a known possibility. It is a waste of time/money, but more importantly, if you are on it as a maintenance medication, can cause terrible effects on your health. What is the point of taking an inhaler which cannot help, due to not distributing the medication? Good luck.

Oh goodness, I was on a first name bases for the A’trznca product division. Willing to replace, but not the ease of just returning to pharmacy.

My Pharmacy says the misfired inhalers make their way back to the source, as they return them to the distributor for a credit - which they receive in the form of a free replacement, in effect reporting the problem. The manufacturers are well aware of the issue - that is why the package says to store them in an upright position.
