ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with getting asthma prevention inhalers (things like, symbicort or seretide)? I'm not desperate for one, but may need one over the next month. I have asked in one or two pharmacies (I showed them the physical pumps) and they said that they don't have them.

Is this something I need to go to a clinic for? Do they use a different brand inhaler here (which would explain why they don't recognise symbicort or seretide)?

Any help would be appreciated (I'm in BKK btw).

When I travelled last year without enough medication I had to order a Budesonide inhaler from a pharmacy on Buakhao (Pattaya). It was there the following day

thanks, but I don't need ventolin. Ventolin is a reliever inhaler. I need a preventer inhaler. (The one that you take every day). Ventolin is just used to stop an asthma attack, but it shouldn't be used daily.
