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.

That's because beclamethasone works. I requested it from my Kaiser doctor and he said it's not "on their list" so I'm stuck with Flovent instead.
Just complete speculation here, but I'm going to guess they discovered it accidentally cures cancer while it's at it.
Kek! Or maybe it's anti-parasitic!
