Get a Ventolin HFA prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Ventolin HFA (Salbutamol) is a bronchodilator used to relax the muscles of the lungs, allowing air to move into them more freely. Ventolin is used to treat acute symptoms of shortness of breath, and is not meant to be taken as a preventive medication.

It’s also used to treat bronchospasms (a sudden, uncontrollable tightening of the airways in your lungs), by relaxing the muscles in the airways and allowing air to move freely through.

The most common use for Ventolin HFA is as a treatment for people who have asthma. It works both as daily maintenance, and to help minimize and soothe asthma attacks.

You could also be given a Ventolin prescription if you have certain types of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Ventolin is taken through inhalation via a “puffer”.

Remove the cover from the mouthpiece on the puffer and place it in your mouth. Exhale, and then press down on the top of the canister while inhaling. Hold the vapour in your lungs for a count of 3-5 seconds and then exhale slowly.

Repeat as instructed on the container.

Ventolin HFA’s dosage is controlled by the canister when it’s released. Always follow the instructions given by your doctor for how often it can be used.

Before you get a Ventolin prescription online, be sure to talk to your doctor about possible side effects and risks associated with the use of Ventolin HFA.

Common side effects include:

• Shakiness or trembling
• Irregular or increased heart beat
• Hives, welts or skin rash
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Insomnia
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling of the mouth or throat
• Chest tightness

You should never exceed the dosage listed on your Ventolin prescription, as there have been reported cases of Ventolin overdoses causing death in some patients.

If you think Ventolin HFA could help with your respiratory issues, be sure to talk to a doctor.

There are additional risks for some people with pre-existing conditions. You might be at risk when using Ventolin if you’ve had:

• Heart disease or high blood pressure
• A thyroid disorder
• Seizures (or have ever had them in the past)
• Diabetes
• Low levels of potassium

As well, if you’re pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, talk to your doctor before starting your Ventolin prescription.

It could be unsafe to breastfeed while taking Ventolin HFA. Talk to your doctor to discuss the risks before use.
