18. Wow. From the past surprise.

I found the Advair substitute in Canada. It's labeled 'Seretide'. Comes in the exact same patented circular powder inhaler. Works just great. Same manufacturer. Same dose. Costs a small fraction of what Walmart was charging. Works much better for me than the old quick relief inhalers like Symbicort. Dose 1 / day gives round the clock relief. I have a simple asthma peak flow meter that I blow into whenever I'm in doubt.

I use the Canadian 'Pharmstore' pharmacy, mainly mail order I think. 1-800-281-8347. Works well.
