Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hello Fellow Asthmatics - I am mostly a lurker here but read all the posts. A dumb question, is the Ventolin inhaler the equivilant of the ProAir albuterol inhaler? Looks like it can be ordered from England from InhousePharmacy.biz without an RX. Can this be true? Many thanks, > > what do u use for an inhaler then? nebulizer? > i use Ventolin only cause anything cheaper you can taste it > > i dont like the idea of not having anything OTC just in case i cant get an inhaler when they end up being 50.00 to 10.00 a piece just adds up. > > G/WI > > > > ________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ventolin is the standard, most commonly prescribed salbutamol inhaler here, but I'd be surprised if there are any UK based online pharmacies. 85% of the population here get free prescriptions, and the other 15% of us (into which I fall, grr complain grumble) pay a flat rate of £7-40 per item. So I wouldn't have thought an online pharmacy here would be particularly profitable since prescription medicines are not expensive for us. JennTha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me.Subject: Re: Primatene inhalers gone by December/VentolinTo: asthma Date: Thursday, 29 September, 2011, 8:56Hello Fellow Asthmatics -I am mostly a lurker here but read all the posts.A dumb question, is the Ventolin inhaler the equivilant of the ProAir albuterol inhaler?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi , the ventolin and proair are the same thing, just different brand names. Both have albuterol.To: asthma Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 2:56 AMSubject: Re: Primatene inhalers gone by December/Ventolin Hello Fellow Asthmatics - I am mostly a lurker here but read all the posts.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks for the response! Interestingly enough the InhousePharmacy.biz site states that: this site is not intended for those people who reside in the United Kingdom. Their address is: Pacific Health Limited Eluk Road Pango Port Vila Vanuatu They say they ship prescriptions to many other countries throughout the world. - > > > > what do u use for an inhaler then? nebulizer? > > i use Ventolin only cause anything cheaper you can taste it > > > > i dont like the idea of not having anything OTC just in case i cant get an inhaler when they end up being 50.00 to 10.00 a piece just adds up. > > > > G/WI > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Shipments from Inhouse in Vannatu are intercepted by the UK so they don't reach customers in UK.
