Expensive?

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Recently my Dr took me off Advair and now has me trying Stiolto Respimat. I really hav'ent felt any different (after two months) and the cost, even with my co-pay is pretty expensive. I would love to hear from any one of you with a success story using Stiolo. Thanks

I mentioned Stiolto to my pulmo and we decided to try it. I feel no different than the Spiriva or Advair I used to take however I also take a 1/2 dose of albuterol diluted with saline solution twice a day and 8mg of prednisone once-a-day. I feel pretty good lately but that seems like a lot of meds! I'm checking with another pulmo at Cleveland Clinic in a few weeks.

You need a pulmo. Stiolto doesn't contain the steroid that Advair has and that's probably what you're missing. Talk with your doc aND IF IT'S NOT A PULMO, GET A REFERRAL.
