The box for one of my asthma inhalers is almost 4X the size of the
inhaler. I have always cut off the part of the box that has the
pharmacist's label. If I have to take the whole box and now the insert
also, I will need a carryon the size of a suitcase.lol I am so glad I
am driving to my next cruise and don't have to worry about this untill
