I was put on Eklira a few months ago.. and noticed a real improvement almost immediately. However  I find that the device jams after about a week or so of twice daily use. It works perfectly until then.. after which no huffing and puffing will realease a dose. (The chemist supplies me with a replacement then) .Does anyone else have this trouble with the inhaler?

    Yes, I had the same problem. It is most annoying.

      Thank you so much for replying!   I was planning to see my doctor this week to ask for an alternative medicine...reluctantly because Eklira is really working well for me... when I get the dispenser to work. How did you cope with the problem?  Did you give up and switch????

      All best wishes..Heytesbury
