Hi Delphine,

 

GlaxoSmithKline is the maker of the Advair diskette.  They have a Patient Assistance Program that can provide qualified individuals medication at low or no cost.  You can log onto their website at www.gsk.com or contact them at 1-888-825-5249 to get more information.  You may also want to ask your provider.  They sometimes have Patient Assistant Program forms on hand for particular manufactuers.  Also, look into your state's health insurance program.  If you don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, there may be other options to get assistance with obtaining your medication.  Good luck!
