Suggest an effective alternative for Symbicort
Patient: I was taking symbicourt for my bad chest allergies ,but my insurance BC/BS stopped allowing it. I have since developed a lot of fluid on my lungs and I cough quite a lot. Think the fluid is caused by severe allergies that the symbicourt helped. I can t afford the $350.00 full cost of the drug so I just have to suffer. Is there a generac drug that will help these severe allergy symptoms? That the insurance will cover? Doctor: hi sir/madam,Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.Other alternatives are:-1. Advair (fluticasone / salmeterol):-Take it daily and consistently for the best results. It is not for on-demand treatment of wheezing or asthma attacks.Rinse your mouth with water after each inhalation to avoid fungal infections of the mouth.2. Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol):-Breo Ellipta (fluticasone / vilanterol) contains an ingredient, which may cause yeast to grow in your mouth and throat.Not appropriate for those allergic to milk since it contains milk protein.Other types of combination inhaler for COPD may work better to reduce the frequency of COPD attacks.Consult your doctor for further treatment.hope this was helpful.have a healthy day.
