Hey Everyone,

I've read posts about inhalers being relatively easy to get, but I'd to know if the same goes for Singulair tablets. I'll be leaving for Gangneung this Sunday.

sorry - I do not know whether it is available,

but most drugs are available in SK


if you do a search on "asthma" - there are many threads

e.g.,

however, I tried siingulair many years ago and found it had terrible side affects

maybe it doesn't bother you but here are some other comments and sites:

Thankfully, I've never suffered any side affects, and I've been taking it for many years now. For me, its the best asthma drug I've ever had. I appreciate your concern though.

good luck

I get a script from my GP.

My son takes Singular. We take him to the doctor and he gives him a prescription for 4 weeks at a time. You may be able to get more, if you ask.

Can't remember the cost at the moment, but I don't think it's too much. My son's doc is also good about writing prescriptions for my Ventolin inhalers every couple of months. Again, quite cheap.
