Question 2

I have had asthma my whole life. can i get a prescription that never expires for albuterol or do i have to see a doctor every time mine runs expires?

Accepted Answer

Prescriptions are usually only valid for 1 year. If your asthma is in control, you should not need more than 2 inhalers per year.  If you need more, then your asthma is out of control & you need to step your control medication.  Discuss this with your doctor. If your doctor cannot get you the right medicine to keep you under control, you need to see an asthma specialist: allergist or pulmonologist.

Question 3

Usually we give her albuterol and budesonide through a nebulizer but ive run out of the albuterol. could you write a prescription for me please?

Accepted Answer

A virtual appointment format and consultation may be useful to you and your PCP. If you have an asthma plan, your medications and her symptoms can be reviewed and prescriptions are provided if indicated, until you can see your PCP.

Question 4

I was seen by dr. moshe lewis a couple hours ago and he is suppose to call in a prescription for a zpack and albuterol.  i called my pharmacist and they did not receive it. when can i expect this?

Accepted Answer

The best person to answer your questions is the doctors office that you just came from. It’s possible he called a different pharmacy

Question 5

If my 4 year old had albuterol nebulizer treatment an hour ago, can i still give him his prescription hydroxyzine 10mg/5ml for postnasaldrip cough now?

Accepted Answer

Hydroxazine has a drying effect and could dry the secretions in your childs chest counteracting the effect of the albuterol. Therefore, i would use saline nose drops for his nose.

Question 6

Hx: asthma, pts = sm airway, asmanex x1 qhs. new prescription mn txs unit dose albuterol q4 prn.  used 13 of 25 doses in 40 days. is this reasonable frequency?

Accepted Answer

Albuterol use means that your asthma is uncontrolled. It is rescue medication. 

You appear to need more anti -inflammatory medication and it seems that your asmanex is underdosed. Most likely you will have to increase the asmanex, possibly 2 inhalations twice daily to stop the need for albuterol.

Symptoms are the tip of the ice berg.

Check with your lung doc.

Question 7

My ped put my 3 yr old on claritin (loratadine) and prescription singular with nebulizer with pulmicort and albuterol, is it safe to have all the meds for allergys?

Accepted Answer

These medications all work in different was to help control allergies and asthma.  They all are approved to use in someone 3 years old.  Usually we like to get things under control quickly and then taper medications when possible.

Question 8

Do i need a prescription to buy sterile saline for a nebulizer?  will it work to break up chest congestion? cough, not wheezing-don't need albuterol.

Accepted Answer

Well, looks like you've got the albuterol in case you need it.  Keep in mind that sometimes the body's response to inflammed airways is a cough, so albuterol may help that as well.
Sterile saline is available at any corner drug store, wal-mart, target, etc.  In fact, many wound washes you find in the first-aid section are just sterile saline.  Just read the bottle.  Good luck, and see your doctor!

Question 10

I just had my first visit through helptap for a refill on my albuterol inhaler. the doctor said "ok, i'll get you a refill" and that was it..i'm confused on the process here?

Accepted Answer

Call your pharmacy to see if the prescription was sent in. If you open your HealthTap account you should have a my visits tab,  open today's visit, you should be able to open the doctor's note that will include recommendations as well as possible prescriptions. Your best approach going forward is to establish with a local doc that can coordinate your treatment and preventive care properly.
