I use a Trelogy Elipta inhaler for my asthma. I refill monthly since last June. My original co-pay was $149 which went up to $175 in October. I went to pick up my refill today and pharmacy said my co-pay went up to $559!! I called SilverScript, my Part D Medicare insurance company and they said Astra Zeneca raised the price. I told the pharmacy no thanks and notified my pulmonologist to call the insurance co. to remove it so I can drop back down to tier one. I researched for a generic but there is none and Trelogy is the ONLY inhaler available with the three ingredients which includes a steroid. I will choke before I will pay that! Only the poor on medical assistance will get it at OUR expense. Thanks for the vent….I feel better.

It would really be a good idea to try to find a homeopathic way to treat your asthma and get off the meds from the pharmacy.
Things like this make me worried that people aren't as prepared for The Storm as they think they are.
When things get shut down, and everything starts going down, there's no telling how long businesses will be closed, including pharmacies.
And if those in healthcare involved in the pandemic hoax are brought to justice, it could be a long time before there are enough doctors and pharmacists to start seeing patients again.
If Big Pharma is brought to justice as they should be, they might all be out of business permanently. There's a good chance that no medications from Big Pharma will be available ever again. That's a good thing in my opinion. I don't know why anyone would trust Big Pharma for anything.
