Do you take the preventer as well (Qvar or Becotide) ? Is this also available over the counter ?

My inhaler is the blue one, which the actual inhaler sits in. You press the top and breath in. When you buy it you get both the inhaler bottle and the blue container. As I don't speak Spanish I just showed the Pharmacist my old one and he knew what I wanted.

Just a quick update!!

Went into the chemist in Chiclana and there are leaflets all about how you can get your repeat prescriptions without visiting your Doctor.

The service commences in this part of Spain on 12 March!!:thumbup:

Hi,

I'm also on Flixotide and Beconase prescription, which I have to take daily. The Salbutamol is an as required medicine but I too use it much less when in Spain. Could be the altitude that my house is at, + 2000 feet.
