  2. I have asthma and the AME grilled me about what meds i take.  If you tell them you have take albuterol or something like advair then that could be and issue.  If you don't take anything regularly you should be ok.  If you don't tell them you take anything you should be ok too, but then its up to your own GOOD judgement if you should fly or not.  Or you  can get determined to get in shape and stop using meds which i did.  In the end its all about what medications are you taking regularly(every day/week).  The more you take the worse it gets.  But remember, each AME is different, some are tough, others not so tough.  Good luck!
