Hi mate,
I'm in Sydney at the moment but regularly travel up to far north Queensland
and other places,so cant say its been even a humidity trigger either.
Its strange because one of the reasons the inhalers themselves became
available over the counter was that supposedly there is a problem with
asthma over here......seems not my type of asthma problem/trigger.
Hopefully you have the same issue.
My problem was fairly limited to several months in Europe every year but
then it was usually on a daily basis I needed the good old blue puffer more
than several occasions on each.
As for cost....well off the top of my head cant remember...was so long ago
fortunately.
But as an idea you can buy them online (genuine outlets) and they cost in
the region of 8-9 bucks for 2.
Well below the EU price I'm guessing.
chemistaustralia.com.au has a very good site you can wander around for an
idea on other medications as an idea as well....and they are a known good
supplier btw.
Hope this helps.
Glenn
