There are roughly 22 million Americans suffering from asthma, and symptoms are commonly known: i.e. tightness of chest, wheezing, hard time catching your breath and breathing in general, and coughing.
Basically people have asthma when their airways are inflamed — causing airways to tighten-up which in turn makes the air to flow into your lungs less efficiently.
My asthma is mostly triggered by my allergy to our house pets: cat and a dog. My doctor has advised me strongly to get rid of our house members, but I don’t have the heart to say “ciao.”
So, my doctor prescribed me a new inhaler, Advair, in addition to my fast acting Albuterol inhaler to control my asthma. Unfortunately, my Advair costs over $185 a piece!! Fortunately, I didn’t have insurance and I received my Advair for free – Yeah!!
If you check out their website, www.advair.com, there’s a link to “eligibility” to receive such offer. All you have to do is fill out the paper, direct which pharmacy you are using, and make sure you are indeed eligible to receive free month supply of Advair.
Also, there are other special offers as well. For instance, there a $10 off next refill (for new and existing patients) with more savings in the future, and information materials about managing asthma in the mail. The link is http://www.advair.com/beyond/landing_popup.jsp.
Ever since I have been using my Advair, my problems has been under full control, but am now looking for an generic version or a substitute of Advair – it’s just too expensive. I have seen online stores offering generic Advair and Canadian online drug stores.
However, I have encountered similar problems as most of you – still too expensive! So the search will go on!
