I would like to know why it is so hard to get the Dr. to prescribe more than 1 fast acting inhaler at a time! UGH!! I ask for more than one to keep them in 3 different areas to keep me going & it seems to be a battle between telling me to say something to the Dr. & say something to the Pharma...

I see your point. It would be much safer to have an inhaler available in strategic locations in case of emergency.

Another problem I've had is with my nebulizer meds. My prescription says to use the nebulizer every 3 hours as needed. If you have an extended period of poor control you might use it 4 or 5 times a day. It would require 120-150 doses of medication in a 30 day period at this rate. the pharmacy gives me 60 doses. I don't understand that at all.
