if you can only have access to the albuterol inhalers is it worth it?
No...the delivery system is different. the inhaler just goes to the lungs where as the pills go to the enitre body!
If you have insurance....go to an allergist dr. and tell him that you used to take the pills years ago because you didn't like the inhaler (or make something up) and now that you started working at a new environment (I said I started to work at a warehouse with mold and dust) My ashma came back and the only thing that ever worked was the pills. I also have mail order prescription with my insurance so I told him that and he gave me a subscription for 3 months....so I could take higher doses! There you have it.
If you don't have insurance you can do the same thing...it will just cost more.....but you have to see a specialist, and tell him that you will not take anything but the pills. Don't let him tell you that he wants you to try the inhaler first......Also a trick....always see an asian Dr. with an accent.....they are always the easiest to control and manipualte from my experiences!
