If you live in the USA and are low or middle income the drug companies will help you out with FREE drugs. There are companies out there that will help you get the brand name or generic drugs that you need for pennies. There is no need for anyone not to be on the medicines you need. All you have to do is go on the website for the company who makes the group, fill out the forms or give them a call and tell them you need help. I have done this for the past 3 years. This year I decided to let RX Assist help me out, I had to pay a set up fee but now I get Dulear inhaler, Tudorza Pressair, Daliresp, Restasis,which comes directly to my house for months at a time for price of $95.00 a month. I went with Sliver Script as Part D insurance, bad choice won't do it again. Don't cover enough of the meds I take. If I can help anyone doing this please let me know, I don't want anyone to go with meds when it isn't necessary. Doctors don't know about all the programs out there, it's up to us to find this out and pass the information along.

Why is it that pharmaceutical companies won't let patients on medicare use any of their discount plans, everyone of them seems to think we can afford 75 or 60 dollar copays, which wouldn't be bad if you only need one, but I use three inhalers, and live on a fix income, my doctor put me on the same medications that I inhale with to nubleizer treatments which in my opinion don't last near as long and ties you to be home to take treatments, so why do I need portable oxygen to go anywhere if I have to stay home to do breathing treatmenrs.
He finally agreed to give me samples that the drug reps give him for new patients and so does my internal medicine dictor, so now I use the nubleizer when I'm at home and when I know I'm going to be out and about I use the samples, they seem to last awhile longer so I don't have to get down on my knees and beg for them. Know the pharmaceutical companies have had a lot if these inhalers for years on end and it's like the eppi pens the drugs can be made generic but the delivery system they have a patent on I guess so Noone can copy it or they find another use the inhaler is good for and rewrite their medical patent so no one can copy it. It should be agains the law people need these drugs. I have Hemophilia also so I have huge copays for clotting medicines also, just read that there's a new treatment coming for Hemophilia B I have Hemophilia A but the new prescription will run!!!! Don't faint when I tell you $$$$ 1.5 million dollars it's a cure as most Hemophiliac will use millions of dollars worth of clotting factor though out there life and if you have severe Hemophilia OU can go though a million dollars a year in clotting factor, why ending insurance caps was important to a lot if Hemophiliac

Advair is a long-acting bronchodilator and an inhaled steroid mixed together. It’s not for rescue. Since you already have albuterol, discuss with your doctor the possibility of adding ipratropium, the antispasmodic to be used wuth the albuterol back to back. Alternatively, your doctor could order Spiriva, which is a long acting antispasmodic. A generic alternative is also available in Canada, but your cheapest bet would probably be albuterol plus ipratropium back to back as rescue. Example, 1 pf albuterol, 1 ipratropium, 1 albuterol, 1 ipratropium...... or however he wants you to have it... might be only 1 altogether of each, or 2 of one and 1 of the other, depending on what level of bronchomalacia or bronchospasm you have.

Doug Allen? Dont know WHAT part of Canada you were living in 40 yrs ago. But you are absolutely incorrect. Just keep enjoying your premiums, insurance oligarchs DENY, DENY, DENY while you file for bankruptcy. You are holding a narrow, uneducated opinion of what's really facts.
