Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis
Yes, I have asthma, allergies, and lung issues/bronchitis and I'm trying to find a reasonable inhaler that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. My doctor has prescribed Proair and Avar, both are usually about 100.00 to 200.00 each. I can't afford this, even with insurance. I have been taking albuterol and formoterol fumarate, and wanted to find out if these were comparable to what the doctor has prescribed.
