Trelegy for moderate Copd
It’s so expensive. Anyone tried using it every other day with success?
I use Trelegy every day and it doesn't seem to do much for me
, have you spoken with your doctor about this? If not, maybe you would like to consider speaking to them about other options that may work better? All the best, Sam S. (COPD.Net Team Member). I cannot take the taste of Trelegy and Anoro. I gag on them as hard as I try to get over it. But Breo? No problem at all. There is a chemical inside both Trelegy and Anoro and also Breztri that is not in Breo. Whatever it is my body vehemently rejects it.
So it may not be much different than Breo. I paid $615 for one months supply. Can’t afford it. Thank you
Medicare doesn't have it on their list so the Part D Supplement I have won't cover it. I see a pulmonary doctor at a large teaching hospital. They sent in a request to have the drug approved, and at an affordable price. It was approved for six months at $165.00. I'm not in the low-income category so the discount wasn't due to that. You might try to get your doctor to put in a request to the insurance company. Maybe you can find a facility that has more success asking for approval of drugs.
, thanks for joining the conversation and sharing that tip! I'm glad to hear your doctor was able to help you get your medicine at a more affordable price. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.Net Team Member).
Hi
, I hear how frustrating it is when your medicine is so expensive. Before making any changes to how you take your medicines, I would consult with your doctor (unless you have already!). These articles include some tips on how to manage expensive medicines, https://copd.net/living/money-saving-hacks or https://copd.net/living/paying-medications. I hope you find them helpful! All the best, Sam S. (COPD.Net, Team Member). thank you.
Thank's Sam S. I will talk to her about this, only thing is her office keeps pushing my appointment further and further out. Won't be seeing her until January now. She is now spending most of her time in ICU being a pulmonologist with covid patients.
, that's frustrating but I think a lot of doctors are in similar situations. If you feel like you need to talk to her before then to get her opinion, you could always leave a message for her with the nurse's station or if her office uses a portal, maybe message her through there? That way you don't have to wait until January. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.Net, Team Member).
