How to get inhalers when you do not have insurance?
I have the emergency Ventolin HFA, but cannot afford the other ones that treat long term. The powder one WAS working great until I had to stop because I could not afford the $300 & change per unit (30 days)

I get my inhalers from a Prescription Assistance Program thru our local hospital. Check around in your community for such a thing. Also contact the manufacturer. They should help you afford it. You need to get your doctor involved. Call your doctor and tell him/her the financial burden you are having and ask for help getting your needed meds. If they won't help you, find a more concerned doctor.in addition to the excellent advice from , here are a few articles that we have on finding some more affordable medications: https://copd.net/living/reduced-cost-healthcare, https://copd.net/living/medication-costs, https://copd.net/living/afford-medicine-ideas.
