just go and ask for yours .
but sometimes it's not there , I'm a doctor and I can help you to fine the alternative or the local name of the same inhaler , just tell me the name of yours .

When I was in Egypt, I needed some medications and I went into a pharmacy to get them. I did not need to see a doctor or get any prescription to purchase the medications.
The pharmacist was very nice and helpful. It also helped that I knew what I was talking about as I myself am a pharmacist.
You may need to get the generic name for the inhaler so the pharmacist can give you the correct equivalent to it, as it probably goes by a different brand name in Egypt.

No u do not usually need any prescribtions or medical records to get a medication there. That's not how it works in Egypt. Just go to the pharmacy and tell them what ur looking for and they will gladly give it to u. get well.

I don't think for inhalers you will need a perscription. It's not like in the states. Whenever someone's sick, they go to the pharmacist and ask them what they should take, lol. I'll check with DH for you, but I don't believe you'll need anything other than a few pounds to pay for it. :-P
