Are there any over-the-counter preparations available in pharmacies?

On the Polish pharmacy market, all preparations used temporarily (such as Ventolin) in the case of shortness of breath caused by m.in exacerbation of asthma are issued only on prescription (with a doctor's prescription). In order to obtain a prescription, you can use the advice, e.g. in the form of teleadvice offered by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja More about how to get a prescription by phone we wrote in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/jak-telefoniczne-otrzymac-recepte-i-zwolnienie-lekarskie

Unfortunately, we live in times when an adult is treated worse than cattle and you cannot simply buy medicine yourself. What is needed is an intermediary, a state. Someone has to maintain this sick system, in which during an asthma attack I can not go to the nearest pharmacy to buy medicine but I have to make an appointment first, wait ... It's sick. Without this their prescription, you can eat pyralginy or other parasyph, which allow you to advertise on TV and Poles eat it for kilograms. This is fine and somehow no one sees the problem but stupid Ventolin will not sell because what?! Because a stupid man can not read the leaflet and not yet this side will put the inhaler or God forbid not in this hole at all, he will prank 200 times in a row and explode. It's hard, he didn't have much chance of survival anyway. So maybe there will be some acute reaction because I did not know that I was allergic to something or I was taking another medicine. I could go to a private doctor for a professional consultation but I preferred to save because I am just a poor watchmaker and it me off.
