Has anyone found a dose counter that is reusable for HFA inhalers such
as proventil or albuterol? I like the smallness and simplicity of the
Meditrack Doser but I don't like the short battery life and the lack of
battery replacement which prevents it's reuse. Please post any
alternatives. Thanks.

I read that a new one will become available in 2007 -- forget where I
read that though. The Landmark looks pretty much like a regular MDI
canister holder but it has a counter on the front part. The link below
will take you to an article and a picture of it. It also have a less
technical way of determining the amount of medicine left in the canister.

Hope it helps.

The Seretide inhaler I now get in the UK has a built in counter.
