Default On the subject of prescriptions...

...is it possible to get Ventolin inhalers OTC in Oz? If so, does anyone know how much they cost?

Many thanks.

Thanks - given that I currently pay £6.20 on Rx, that's one thing that will be cheaper!

Only if your earning the same wage as you did in the U.K don't forget a scrip for ventolin is for 2 and here they are $9 bucks each.

Interesting - how long has that been the case? I do usually get two, but that first happened after I asked if I could have two because we were going away and I thought they'd messed up and left it at two.

Yes, if it's standard to prescribe 2 now, then it would be dearer in Oz. Typical!

Thanks for the info.
