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

"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 you're dirt poor a lower price. NOT FOR ME!"

"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 was 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!"
