I have the exact same problem and the exact same condition. The justification is kids “might use them to get high” but as far as I’m concerned it’s a handout to Doctors. An inhaler is only $25 without insurance.

Recently I have been able to setup a video call with an urgent care clinic to just write me the damn prescription and add about a year’s worth of refills, $50 for the call, but it’s still stupid I can’t just walk in and buy an inhaler off the shelf.

You didn’t specify a country, but if you can setup a call with a doctor, I would encourage you to go that route. It’s still more money than you should have to pay, but it’s better than going in person and in my experience, a lot cheaper.

That's also such a weird concept in 2020. Kids can just buy literally any drug they want on the dark net and have it shipped to their homes, they don't need to drink a gallon of cough syrup or use inhalers to get high.

It's interesting that you can get refills on a single prescription. I'm in Germany, and all doctors I've ever been to go the Let's Encrypt route, aka you'll get a prescription for 1-3 months worth (whatever the size sold at the pharmacy is), but you need to call them up and get a new prescription afterwards.

They’re $4 or so.

I order mine 2 dozen at a time from https://www.alldaychemist.com/. Ships to the US, no prescription needed. Takes a month or two to arrive.

$600 Advair is like $60 on there, too.
