Can I get an asthma pump from a pharmacist or do I need to consult a doctor?

You need to consult a doctor in order to obtain prescription medication for asthma. Medications such as Ventolin, Flovent, and Symbicort are not available over-the-counter at pharmacies. It is important to seek medical evaluation from a doctor or specialized nurse practitioner before using these medications.
