Sometimes if you don't properly take the inhalers, they don't work as well, even if you think you are doing it right.  Use your inhaler in front of your doctor and ask him to improve your technique.  

Looking slighly upwards helped me greatly in getting more relief from the blue ventolin HFA inhaler.  

Most of the steroid inhalers (probably your brown one) need some time before they help at all, it took close to 2 months to get full relief when I started it, take it at the same time each day, even a couple hours off won't make it as effective.  

Hope that helps!

hi
i like you have had my inhalers changed at least every six months, tried every one on market. 3 years later no further forward. nothing worked. now looking into adrenal problems and lack of cortisol. found small doses of prednisolone are really affective until root cause is found. check times of day when its better/worse

The color of the inhaler does not tell us what it is you are inhaling.
