Do you need a prescription to buy asthma medication?
reinka-rnate asked:
I’m going on a hiking expedition and the First Aid Kit list we got says that I should pack asthma medication as well, even if none of our group members have diagnosed asthma. All the First Aid Kits that I’ve seen on the market here in Singapore don’t have asthma puffers, so I’m planning to get it separately. Does anyone know if a prescription is needed to buy asthma puffers? Thanks in advance.

Yes you need a prescription. Call your doctors office and ask them about it. Most likely they will have a trial size albuterol inhaler that they can give you. Instead of the normal 60 puffs the vial only has like 15 or 30 or something like that. Make sure you have some benadryl too for allergic reactions to plants and stuff. Anyways I hope I helped. take care and enjoy your hike
Yes, you need a RX for it.You shouldn’t take it if you don’t have the need for it.It will cause you problems if you use it and aren’t’ asthmatic.But if you want something just in case.There is this stuff call primatin mist.It is over the counter.
