Donut hole for medicare part D.
BlueJane
Thursday, January 08, 2009 at 08:28 PMI had a problem in 2008 due to taking my inhalers and the donut hole from medicare part D. so I cut my doseages in half and have now run in more problems. I feel something has to be done about this as this is costing the government more in doctor visits and medicare payments to the doctors. I use generic meds when ever possible. The seniors of America need help..

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 04:58 PMI have been transitioned to Proair HFA from Armstrong CFC and I am very dissatisfied with these "new" inhalers. To begin with, I need twice as many puffs (or more) than I did with the old CFC inhaler! It says there are 200 doses, but the container is only 1/2 the size of the Armstrong CFC - how can this be??? I think we are being cheated out of doses. When I asked for an extra inhaler each month, my doctor reprimanded me and said I should use less!!! USE LESS??? I only use it when I cannot breathe and I am too far away from my nebulizer at home! The "Spiriva" Handihaler I take once a day simply does not help when I go out walking or shopping. I continue to need a rescue inhaler. I don't know one asthmatic who is happy with the new HFA's. I will become a prisoner of my home if things don't change. Since enough "rescue" inhaler is being denied to me, going out will be a risk. But I am a rebel! I will go out - even if it means many emergency trips to the ER. These phony new inhalers are going to cost the government a lot of money - thanks to the FDA and their foolish decision to ban CFC inhalers.

HFA Asthma Inhalers
mamaj
Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 10:59 PMSave the ozone layer.....forget about all of us with asthma. That's what I think every time I need
my rescue inhaler. The change of inhalers is a financial burden on me. I keep reading there is no generic Albuterol, yet I'm having to use Proair that I get from Medco mail order. They consider it a generic Albuterol. It does't work! I have had to start using a nebulizer if I need a quick acting drug. I use an inhaler with a combination of drugs in it. With using this on a regular basis as prescribed, I still need a fast acting inhaler at times, or nebulizer now since the FDA has decided to save the ozone layer by removing the propellant from our inhales. A nebulizer is a bit bulky to carry in my purse. Removing the propellant from asthma inhalers to save the world is comparable to removing a BB out of a box car to lighten the load.

I have federal health insurance and cannot use the coupons. I am a divorced person and live alone. So, I am a sole supporter for myself. With all the other medications I have to take (fourteen- all necessary, but few generic), I have to decide which medications are more important than others. For me, breathing is a luxury.
