Hi sorry to hear this. If you are in the UK can't you get some more from your local pharmacist? If this is asthma meds and you use the same chemist normally you would get some to tide you over. Otherwise you will have to ask your doctor. x

You really do need to see a GP who might prescribe theophylline, but it is not wise to medicate yourself without further investigation. Chesteze took over from DoDo tablets, but they must be used with caution. It is possible to be addicted to them and even if you're not, you should see your doctor.

Not what you're looking for?
