I always keep one in my EDC and I make sure I have at least one or two handy in case I get ill with a bad cold or flu and over winter because the cold makes my asthma worse. But I don't really need them much now I'm on the purple inhaler - it's flippin' magic!

I'm trying to build up better stores of all my prescription meds anyway, not for barter, but for the sake of my own health!

I didn't realise ventolin could be bought over the counter in Europe...

I have a few spares that should last a while. I also use a Seretide preventer inhaler which helps a lot, but what happens when these run out, might be good to look at natural remedies.
I have heard that Cayenne Pepper helps keeps airways open to an extent. I'm also looking at breathing exercises.

I am the same as you. I too, have looked at breathing execises- it really helps.
This is a common problem.
