Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the availability of substitutes of Asthalin inhaler in Germany.

The main medication in Athalin inhaler is Salbutamol which is helpful in symptoms (difficulty in breathing, wheezing, chest tightness) associated with airway diseases like bronchitis, bronchial asthma, etc.

The alternate brands which contain Salbutamol include Bronkonat, Ventolin, Albuterol,Ventodisk, Sultanol inhalers which also contain the same dosage of 100 mcg as that of Asthalin.

You may have to contact the nearest pharmacy or the office of the gp in your area for more guidance.

Hope to have answered your query.
