Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government's latest attempt to protect the Earth's atmosphere.

Unless you can call your doctor and get him to call in a prescription, you will have to go see him. If he has never treated you for asthma, he would require a visit before writing one for you.

Prescription only meds cost a lot more than over the counter, unless you have drug insurance.

I was assuming that one already has a relationship with the doctor. Sorry.

My asthma days are long-gone but my childhood/teen years were miserable because of it.It’s one tough illness.No inhalers in my day,but I had a glass nebulizer,a real pain in the neck.

The asthma just went away when I was 22.
