I'm severely allergic to peanuts and cannot use proair. Pro air is manufacture it on the line that has peanut contamination. Whereas ventilon isn't. I am on social security and I cannot afford that price. However maybe it's the part D drug plan you have. If you were to change up you might be able to get it covered. Or your doctor should be getting samples .my doc provides me with samples .

I just did a quick lookup using goodrx.com for the Generic of ProAir® HFA (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Aerosol and it costs about $26 with their coupon at Walmart, Publix and CVS. Last time I bought a Ventolin without insurance it was $70 so the TEVA version is about 1/3 the price of Ventolin Same lookup for the highest dose of the Generic of AirDuo RespiClick and it comes up between $52-$60 using the goodrx coupon as well. Last Advair Diskus I bought without insurance was $236 with a...
As a little girl in the 70s When I was given Penicillon , my little teeth went brown. Does this mean I was allergic to it and does that mean I am still? I have Athma and have had it since I was 4. On Thu, Mar 10, 2022 at 10:16 AM Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America < support@aafa.org> wrote:
Hello @Ingrid and welcome! There are certain antibiotics like tetracycline that, when given to children during the early years of tooth development, can cause browning of the teeth . This is not an allergy to the medicine. Tetracycline is now not given to kids under 8 because of this effect on their teeth. Here is more information on drug allergies .
Well, My son is 16 years old and when he was younger he had a reaction to a penicillin medication and ever since then, the doctor said he is allergic to penicillin, without doing any other testing. Recently I took him to allergist office and they will be performing a Penicillin test that will be given orally to him, I will pick up from the pharmacy azithromycin and asked not to be mixed, and they will be given in the office 3 different doses to see if he is truly allergic to penicillin. Is...
Welcome, @NKristin . It's good to have you here with your question. It also may be worth exploring our sister site https://community.kidswithfoodallergies.org It's another login but worth the many posts on amoxicillin reactions.
My 3 year old had an ear infection. She was treated with amoxicillin. She was still running fever after 5 days. It was at 104 at one point and hard to control. The doctor then switched her to omnicef. After the second dose of omnicef she woke up with hives in her diaper area. It then spread under her armpits, feet, hands, knees and elbows. The next day her knees were swollen and she had knee pain. Her pediatrician suspected it may be a serum sickness reaction. He sent me to an allergist. The...
Hi Chrisine454545 and welcome to the AAFA community! Pharmacy tiers and generic drug prices can be really confusing. The GSK version of albuterol is an authorized generic for Ventolin which means that it can be substituted when a doctor prescribes Ventolin and doesn't check the "fill as written" box. The generic won't say Ventolin on it because that is a brand name inhaler (drug + device). It will be labeled as albuterol sulfate. As for the price, this article is from 2019 so I would expect...
CVS is selling this generic albuterol from GSK as a Preferred Brand Name Tier 3 drug to Medicare patients. Same copay as Advair! The box has no brand name on it. GSK says Prasco is distributing it and they set the prices. According to the article in AAFA the authorized generic has a list price of less than $36. The copay CVS/Aetna is charging to Silverscript Smart RX patients is $46!!! More than list price. CVS is claiming it is Ventolin, but that is not on the package because it is a...
@Melanie913 , welcome to the community! We're glad you're here ☺️ That's a great question! Dealing with the costs of medicines can be overwhelming and stressful. There are different programs that may offer financial assistance for asthma medicines. You can find more information, here: Drug Assistance Programs . The list includes drug assistance programs, pharmacy drug savings programs, nonprofit copay and premium assistance, and state drug assistance programs. We also have a blog with tips...
This is a great resource. I'm glad I found it. Question I have insurance through my job but it doesn't cover my preventive inhaler and they are extremely expensive. Are there any programs that help with that?
@Candy, I'm similar to you with the Flovent & voice at least from year round allergies. PND 24 hrs. a day with mild sore throat. Nothing changes either. It's frustrating not sounding like yourself when you talk, but that's better than when it coats your vocal cords & words won't come out at all. I've had both for about 3 yrs. now; the Dr. doesn't know anything to help. She says all looks well, so just stay hydrated & gargle w/ saltwater 2-3 times a day. As far as the Flovent,...
Hey @Candy J ! ☺️ Navigating the costs of medicines, can be frustrating! Especially, when your insurance doesn't cover them, there's a high co-pay, and/or there are limited programs that offer assistance. People with asthma face large financial barriers to certain medicines and treatments. AAFA works to support public policies that will benefit people with asthma and allergies. This includes key priorities like promoting access to quality health care and affordable medications. Please know...
