No, taking 2 inhalations of Symbicort Turbuhaler does not cause an immediate change on the counter, as the scale is marked every 10 inhalations and changes gradually. The counter shows an approximate number of doses (e.g. 60 for a full inhaler), but does not decrease after single or several inhalations – a visible change occurs only after about 10-20 uses.
