Why Should I Not Use Inhalers Instead Of Autohalers Which Are So Expensive?

I am an asthmatic for the last 40 years and am 71 years old. I have been using Foracort 200 Autohaler for the last 6 months and feel free of asthma, As Forcort 200 Inhalers are also available which are less than half the price, why should I not use inhalers instead of autohalers?

Thanks for your query.
Autohaler have the advantage that they do not need hand mouth co-ordination too much. If you are OK with hand mouth coordination with inhalers, it is equally efficacious as autohalers....

Best wishes
