These are no longer manufactured so doubtful you'll find any stock available at this stage anywhere. However, your GP should be your first port of call if you have no medication to treat your symptoms. If the situation is more urgent then call the 111 service.

The Doctors dont really believe me, and keep giving me inhalers, none of which help

Definitely give Asthma UK a try as they will be able to explain what your options are, especially if you have never got on with inhalers.

Hello there, gosh, that is a blast from the past! Those tablets aren't used any more, Graham. Would you like to ring into the Asthma UK helpline, and we will help you work out what asthma treatment is right for you?

My husband swore by these too when he struggled with asthma in his younger days and when inhalers had limited effect.He discovered several years ago that they were withdrawn and no longer manufactured as they had been used by drug addicts who got a high from one of the ingredients. Fortunately for him an asthma attack is rare now and Ventolin gives him some relief.
