Can the pharmacist give me ventolin even if I no longer have a valid prescription?

Question

I was taking ventolin before my symbicort200, but I have to stop my symbicort during my pregnancy. I don't see my pulmonologist for another 2 months, but I have been having a lot of trouble breathing for the past 3 days.

Hello, pharmacists may, in some cases, extend a prescription for Ventolin. It depends on your file and your prescription. I would encourage you to ask your pharmacist to check your file to see if they can extend your Ventolin prescription. I don't think we have your file at our pharmacy, so I can't check it. It will depend on your pharmacist's assessment. Have a nice day! Dr. Jean-Samuel Poisson, pharmacist Familiprix Wickham 819-741-0080
