What is it called in Canada? I looked for it before and did not see any in Canada. I am right across the bridge from Canada so if it is available for sale there I would certainly get it (although I did stock up last summer) Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Barb, Intal is actually called " Intal " in Canada. My problem is that is has the new " green " propellant, which is a major allergen for me. http://www.saverxcanada.com/drugs/Intal%2BInhaler/Aerosol%2BInhaler/5mg_dose This isn't necessarily the cheapest place, but it's one I could find in a hurry this morning.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Until last June, I swore I couldnt tell the difference....but from June to February my asthma was BARELY under control. I went from being on the lowest dose of Flovent to the highest dose of Advair before we got it under control. Every time I had to use the new inhalers more than once, I ended up in the ER for a neb treatment. So I am now in agreeance that the new inhalers dont work as well... Ann I honestly don't think these new propellants help the medicine work as well as the old stuff did. My inhaler doesn't work near as well but what can we do?
