"Having COPD I have had to rely on my rescue inhalers daily sometimes I go through three inhalers a month. I had an opportunity to try some Accord and I was amazed. Not once did I need my rescue inhaler. Unfortunately I unable to stay on it due to a lack of health insurance and the $400 needed to purchase it; however, my state recently expanded medicaid and to my surprise, Medicaid paid for it!"

"Finally went to dr because I could not stand the ridiculous almost non stop coughing. Dr said I’ve got COPD and put me on 2 puffs 2x a day, and now I hardly ever cough anymore. I haven’t had any recognized side effects, and have zero complaints."

"I use Perforomist and Budesonide , which is the ingredients in Symbicort. I use a nebulizer and do each one separately. It's cheaper than Symbicort."

"While the medication was great I had to stop using it. I started out paying $5.00 until they raised the price to $250. Of course they offer to you if your dirt poor a lower price. NOT FOR ME!"
