I had one of these for my own use but managed to lose a bit of it. Does anyone know if these are available OTC without a prescription. I want another one as it helps me identfy when my asthma is actually worse but can't be bothered making an appointment with my GP?

Thnx in advance.

Yes. I've bought two as I wanted an extra one to use at work and the first one didn't seem as good (the second was different but gave the same readings as my own). I got them from Boots but it's cheaper to get them on prescription.

Peak flow

Hi there you should be able to get one over the counter from the chemist or free from your local hospital. I have had to do that before and its normally no bother whatsover and you can also order them free from your doctors surgery.
