“Like they did with that inhaler thingie.”
I use Rx Combivent Respimat 20-100 MCG, which retails for close to $500 at all drugstores. After Geisinger Gold & Medicare are done, I pay $81 co-pay. What a scam.
All that stuff is, Nasal Spray and Albuterol mixed, the problem is getting the nasal spray inhalable as it is thick, they must be using a dilution agent to get the mix right, but I bet a compound pharmacy could mix you up some.
I bet the cost this way is about $80 but for a lot more, but it cuts everyone out of the picture.
