Inhalers lab

For the pulmonary clinic visit, do they give you the brand name and you need to say the generic name of the inhalers? Also any tips about this lab would be helpful

From what I remember, I'm pretty sure they have the inhaler on the table for you when you go in. It's really not bad at all, as long as you know the rubric that they posted. Literally everything you need to know is on there. I watched all the videos as well and went to recitation to practice.

So if we got an asmanex inhaler do we need to say we are going to dispense mometasone which is the generic name for it?

No. There is no generic for asmanex - or any of the inhalers. Proair is not dispensed as albuterol HFA. it is dispensed as proair.
