You can, but not from our pharmacy. These aren't standard treatments for asthma and can be risky for pregnant women. There's also a chance they might be misused in sports. Bricanyl tablets and liquids don't get absorbed by the body as effectively as Bricanyl inhalers.

It's really about which one suits you better rather than which is superior. They have different active ingredients (Ventolin contains salbutamol, not terbutaline), but there shouldn't be a significant difference in how effectively they work. For adults, the choice of inhaler depends on the type you're using and your ability to breathe deeply and quickly into it. If you can manage deep, quick breaths, Bricanyl might be a good fit. However, if that's a bit challenging, Ventolin could be more effective. We're here to help you explore all your options and find the best treatment for your health needs.

Yes, usually. A reliever inhaler is used to address asthma symptoms as they occur. On the other hand, a preventer inhaler works differently. It's a treatment you should use daily to keep asthma under control, even if you feel your asthma is well-managed. A preventer inhaler helps build up protection against symptoms over time. It contains a low-dose steroid that reduces swelling and inflammation in your airways. During your consultation with us, we can discuss both reliever and preventer inhalers and help you determine if you need prescriptions for both types.
