Right now I'm on Atrovent nebulizer, the solution is only $6.67. But the inconvenience of having to stop 3 times a day for 15 minutes is a pain but the inhaler is $250-$350. I was hoping to find a coupon or a address I can write to or someone I can call to get help. I know someone had probably already said all of this. I'm still new, sorry.

If you're in a rehab group ask the pulmonary nurses and physio's, they'll know whether you can get help with this.
Good luck with it

I reckon it'd be worth you while contacting them by phone anyway and see if they have any information which could help you. It's a bugger for you to have to do this when you're already ill: whatever you need should be available either free or for what you can afford.

If you scroll down to the bottom of any page on patient UK
on the left are 2 links, one named
Terms and conditions
and the other;
Help and Frequently Asked Questions
From both these links you will be able to find all you need to know.

When you get a better doctor or get into a clinic, whether free or otherwise, tell them you need to get your meds through Patient Assistance. This is a program offered by most US pharmaceutical companies, their lame way to make up publicly for the ridiculous prices they scam from us for meds. The name may have changed a bit but any clinic knows what this is.
Some private pay gps refuse to do the paperwork. I cannot blame them, as the pharmaceutical companies keep the doctor's staff on the phone for hours for each patient, with most of that time spent listening to muzak on hold. Emergency and urgent care doctors don't do this kind of thing.
If you can get on Medicaid, if your income and assets are low enough, you can get a certain number of scrips free every month or at a very low cost. Ditto for the low income clinics.
You can try calling pharmaceutical companies yourself. I think they'll say what I've said.
Some pharmacy and grocery chains have prescription plans. I don't know anything about them. If it costs money to join or if there's a monthly premium uhh m, make sure they cover the med you want before you pay.
Good luck and keep on with the treatments. They're a drag, but better than nothing.
