50 mcg Clenil steroid asthma inhaler discontinued in Thailand

[Jingthing]

Clenil is an inhaler delivering Beclomethasone used for asthma maintenance/prevention. It is NOT a rescue medication. It is meant to be used daily. 

 

Unfortunately I have been informed that the 50 mcg Clenil has been discontinued in Thailand, but I think the 250 mcg dose will still be available.

 

So I was looking for a replacement Beclomethasone in a lower dose and I came across Qvar which seems to be available in Thailand although I don't recall seeing it. They have a choice of delivery systems, one regular and one "auto" whatever that's supposed to mean. If there is Qvar in Thailand a 50 mcg version does exist but not necessarily in Thailand.

 

So I'm wondering if it's really true that Qvar is available in Thailand. I haven't checked pharmacists yet but might as well ask here first.

Have you tried Seretide Evohaler?

It doesn't answer your question about where to find that inhaler, but I have used Symbicort for years and it has worked a dream - no need for Ventolin at all.
