FAQs about inhaler prescription online

If you’re experiencing asthma symptoms and need a rescue inhaler like Albuterol, our doctors can evaluate your condition through a virtual consultation. If deemed necessary, a prescription for an emergency asthma inhaler will be issued and sent to your pharmacy for same-day pickup.

Asthma inhalers like Albuterol (Salbutamol) require a prescription from a licensed doctor. You cannot legally get one without a consultation. However, with Your Doctors Online, you can speak to a doctor 24/7 and, if appropriate, receive a prescription sent directly to your pharmacy.

To get an Albuterol prescription, simply register on Your Doctors Online, describe your symptoms, and consult a licensed physician through secure chat, audio, or video. If medically appropriate, your Albuterol prescription will be sent to your local pharmacy within minutes.

In both Canada and the US, Albuterol (Salbutamol) inhalers require a prescription. OTC options like Primatene Mist exist but are not safe substitutes. Always consult a doctor for proper use. Our doctors are available 24/7 to assist you.

Press down on the canister to release the medication as you inhale slowly. Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for a moment before slowly expelling. If more than one dose is suggested, wait for the advised time between puffs. It’s crucial to adhere to your doctor’s instructions, and if you need clarification, ask them for the correct inhaler technique.

You can get an inhaler prescription or a refill through telemedicine by consulting with a licensed doctor at Your Doctors Online. After discussing your symptoms and medical history via secure chat or video, the doctor can issue a prescription and send it directly to your preferred local pharmacy — all without an in-person visit.

Asthma inhalers can begin to work within 10-20 minutes, providing quick relief for acute symptoms. However, the exact onset of action may vary depending on the type of inhaler and the individual’s response to the medication.

It depends on the type of inhaler. Some inhalers, like short-acting beta-agonists (SABA), may be available without a prescription. In contrast, others, such as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) or combination inhalers, typically require a prescription from a healthcare provider. You can also get a prescription at a telemedicine platform like Your Doctors Online. You will be assessed, and a prescription will be sent to your pharmacy.

Avoid common triggers like tobacco smoke, dust mites, outdoor air pollution, pet fur, dander, mold, and certain cleaning products to control asthma symptoms.

  1. Short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) inhalers (e.g., albuterol): Provide quick relief for acute asthma symptoms.
  2. Long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) inhalers (e.g., salmeterol): Used for control and prevention of asthma symptoms.
  3. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) inhalers (e.g., fluticasone): Reduce airway inflammation and are commonly used for daily maintenance.
  4. Combination inhalers (e.g., fluticasone/salmeterol): Contain both an ICS and a LABA for combined long-term control and symptom relief.
  5. Leukotriene receptor antagonists inhalers (e.g., montelukast): Offer additional control for some asthma cases.
  6. Anticholinergic inhalers (e.g., ipratropium): May be used in combination with SABA for severe asthma exacerbations.

Inhalers can be purchased over-the-counter (OTC) in different countries, depending on their laws. Some inhalers, including short-acting bronchodilators like albuterol (salbutamol), may be sold over the counter in several nations. These “rescue inhalers” are frequently used to alleviate asthma symptoms quickly.

To get a Ventolin prescription, you can consult a licensed doctor through Your Doctors Online. After reviewing your symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, or asthma flare-ups, the doctor may issue a Ventolin (Salbutamol) prescription, which will be sent directly to your local pharmacy for same-day pickup. No in-person visit is required.
