Safety Spotlight
  • Rescue vs. Maintenance: Using a rescue inhaler like Ventolin more than twice a week may indicate that your chronic asthma is poorly controlled; consult your physician. [1]
  • Rinse After Steroids: Always rinse your mouth after using corticosteroid inhalers (like Flovent or Advair) to help prevent oral thrush (fungal infection). [3]
  • Feline Asthma: Never use human spacers or masks for pets; specialized veterinary equipment is required for safe dosing. [2]

About Inhaler & Respiratory Care

Respiratory care utilizes inhaled medications to deliver therapeutic agents directly into the pulmonary system. This pathway is essential for managing asthma, COPD, and feline asthma, where immediate or sustained bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory action are required. [1]

We help Americans find lower prices on common inhaler prescriptions, including medications like Advair, Symbicort, Ventolin, Flovent, Breo Ellipta, Trelegy, and Anoro.

Pet Inhalers & Feline Asthma

Inhalers are increasingly prescribed for domestic pets, particularly cats with chronic respiratory conditions. Feline asthma affects an estimated 800,000+ cats in the U.S., requiring specialized care often using the same inhaled medications as humans, such as Flovent and Ventolin. [2]

1% Clinical Prevalence

Approximately 1 in 100 indoor cats is estimated to have clinical feline asthma.

Standard of Care

Inhaled steroids are considered the primary treatment to minimize systemic side effects in pets.

Pharmacist Counseling Note: Priming Your Inhaler

If you haven't used your HFA inhaler (like Ventolin or Flovent) in more than 7-14 days, you must "prime" it by spraying it into the air 2-4 times before use. This ensures you receive the full intended dose. Check your product insert for specific priming instructions. [3]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between rescue and maintenance inhalers?
Rescue inhalers (like Ventolin) provide quick relief for sudden symptoms, while maintenance inhalers (like Flovent) are used daily to keep chronic symptoms under control. [1]
Can human inhalers like Flovent be used for cats with asthma?
Yes. Veterinary research confirms that inhaled corticosteroids like Flovent and bronchodilators like Ventolin are the standard of care for feline asthma, often delivered via a specialized spacer. [2]
How often should I use my combination inhaler like Advair or Symbicort?
Combination inhalers contain both a steroid and a long-acting bronchodilator. They are typically prescribed for twice-daily use (morning and evening) to maintain airway stability. [3]
Do I need a prescription for inhalers from Canada Drugs Online?
Yes. All therapeutic inhalers and respiratory treatments require a valid prescription from a licensed U.S. prescriber. [5]
Are generic versions of popular inhalers available?
Yes. Generic Albuterol (generic Ventolin), Fluticasone (generic Flovent), and generic Advair Diskus (Wixela) are available and offer significant savings.
Can COPD patients use the same inhalers as asthma patients?
While many of the same core medications are used, the specific treatment pathway for COPD often prioritizes different bronchodilator classes (LAMAs/LABAs) than asthma protocols. [4]
