Anyone use Foracort inhaler provided by ADC as a substitute for Symbicort?

redwilson 06/16/2014

Yes, been using Foracort since June 1st.....Ordered a six month supply of Foracort and Tiova (Spiriva) While using Symbicort since January 2014 my voice was affected, horseness. Since using Foracort I notice no change in my breathing and my voice is now fine. Plus I'll save close to $3,000.00. I will continue to use ADC for as long as I need these medications. I have 10 Spiriva capsules left and then I will start using the Tiova Rotacaps.

How long does it take to receive an order from ADC? I'm 5 days from placing an order for the Tiova Rotacaps + inhaler gadget

I placed an order at ADC on June 4th and I received the first of two packages today. (I live in the Southeast US.) I expect the 2nd package tomorrow.

On average, I get my orders from ADC in about two weeks. However, once it took a month when one of my packages was stuck in US Customs for over 3 weeks.

I use Foracort (Symbicort) from ADC. They work the same for me.
