It would be @A MyCOPDTeam Member, I would have to pay 95 for it even if medicare is paying prescriptions. Try the company that makes them they have a program for low income. Hope that helps!

I have done the Handi haler for 6-7 yrs.Am now using Respimat, I like the new one much better. On difficult days the blast is easier. No fussing with setting it up or forgetting haler at home.

The handihaler is a dry powder med, the respimat is a mist. Generally the mist is much easier to take and give the same inhalation effort, probably gets farther into the lungs.
