Respiratory Medications Online

Inhalers, nebulizer solutions, and tablets for asthma, COPD, and chronic cough, including reliever and preventer options, shipped from a licensed Canadian pharmacy directly to your door in the United States.

Breathing medication in the US costs significantly more than in Canada. Ventolin (albuterol) retails for over $70 at most US pharmacies. At Polar Bear Meds, it starts at $30.00 shipped. A licensed Canadian pharmacy dispenses every product in this category and verifies it before it ships, with our price-match guarantee on every order.

About Respiratory Drugs

Respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD are chronic, meaning most patients rely on daily medication to keep symptoms under control and prevent dangerous flare-ups. Managing these conditions typically involves two types of medication working together.

Reliever vs. Preventer: What You Need to Know

  • Relievers (rescue inhalers): Fast-acting bronchodilators like albuterol (Ventolin) open the airways within minutes. Use them on demand when symptoms hit.
  • Preventers (controller inhalers): Inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone (Flovent) or combination inhalers like Symbicort reduce inflammation over time. You take them every day, even when you feel fine.
  • Long-acting bronchodilators: Medications like tiotropium (Spiriva) are used once daily for COPD to keep airways open around the clock.
  • Triple therapy: Products like Trelegy Ellipta combine three active ingredients for patients whose COPD is not adequately controlled on a two-drug regimen.

Types of Inhaler Devices

Not all inhalers work the same way. The device type matters as much as the medication inside it. Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs) use a pressurized canister that releases medication when you press and inhale, with examples such as Ventolin HFA and Flovent HFA. Dry-Powder Inhalers (DPIs) are breath-activated and do not require pressing, with examples including Flovent Diskus and Breo Ellipta. Soft-Mist Inhalers release medication as a slow-moving mist for inhalation, such as Spiriva Respimat.

If your device type changes when switching to a Canadian brand, ask your pharmacist to review your technique. Using the wrong method can reduce how much medication reaches your lungs.

Important: Always carry your reliever inhaler when traveling, and reorder your preventer before you run out. An empty preventer is one of the most common, and most avoidable, causes of asthma attacks.
