It's pretty rare in the UK, probably because it's rather expensive at around £80/month.

It has to be taken for several weeks before it's effects kick in, btw, and it's contraindicated for anyone with psychiatric problems.

I managed to buy a single pack from an online pharmacy that I trust, but they've been out of stock ever since.

I saw from the test data that a 250mcg dose had 75% of the effectiveness of the 500mcg dose in terms of FEV1 improvement fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryC...

I only weigh 50 kg and I calculated that for me a third of a 500mcg tab was the equivalent of half a tab for an average-weight person, so I've been taking a third of a tab a day for a month now.

When I've finished the pack I'll check my FEV1 and see if it's worked . . .

I'll be testing the result mid-July, ask me then. But why not trust your doctor and try it yourself?
