wife and I recently retired we do have a prescription plan but due to recent as well as past surgeries and ongoing health problems we have many prescriptions that are needed ... we need some help with copays--- I have a couple of inhaler scripts one company helps but I would like to know if anyone is aware of any help with combivent inhalers and any possible assistance getting $$$ help. while we are not poor we are somewhat above our heads in obtaining our medications to remain healthy. many drug companies now offer help with copays in the form of coupons or rebates however I use combivent quite regularly and was looking for any info thanks

Have you tried checking out AZ and Me or Pfizer connection to care. There are many programs out there for free medication if you qualify. I was able to get my Mother in-law 4 of her medications for free. There is also RX crossroads where you can purchase medication for a 90 day supply at a lower cost. I'm not sure if your inhaler is on any of them but it's worth a try to check it out. Search the web and maybe you'll find what you need. I hope this helped in some small way. Good Luck.

crusader has good tips - can any of them be substituted with generic brands Krogers and walmart have many for 16/month.

also what about the walgreen's RX card? or any others like that. Even CVS gives you cash back on your RX purchases. It's not much but it's something.

Most of the major drug companies (Lilly, Pfizer, etc.) have patient assistance programs. Your doctor's office should be able to access the forms for you, and they usually have to complete a portion of the application, so they should be familiar with the process to help you out. Most churches have benevolence funds that can offer cash assistance if you are in a pinch, so you could call around in your area. Good luck!
