Hi Guys,

Only being in Dubai for 16 months my mum still gets my Asthma prescription in UK and visitors take it out.

I'm offshore at the moment, just interested in up to date info. Google tells me everything from Asthma medication is banned in UAE to I can buy it over the counter haha

Advise appreciated.

Regards

Craig

I just buy it over the counter or pay the minimum fee to the doctor and get a bulk prescription, you can buy most meds over the counter here just not opiate based ones.

The only thing is they do not stock the much in the way of turbohalers they all need to be aerosol based.

ventolin is over the counter for about 38aed.

salamol or similar is about 280 from memory, so better in bulk via prescription as jase said .

Marlborough lights still about 9aed.
