Hello:>)) I got a prescription filled for Arcapta. I'll be trying it about 3:30 pm. Will let you know how it goes & am wondering if anyone else is using it. It's Onbreeze in Europe. I know of one :>))

I know one person trying this....he is just starting with the copd challenge..but said he is breathing better....$200 a month...I would love to get rid of the spireva and ad air. Try something that might work better...moonsky

Whats the cost per month ?

I'll have too ask my pharmacist what the retail price is, but I pay 10$ for generics & usually 30$ for spiriva. The co-pay on the arcapta was 50$. Only been 2 days, but when I got up this morning was a lot better feeling. Also I am taking it along with Spiriva. It says not to take with other LABA's except for spiriva , like floridiril (Sp) & stuff like serevent . Will let you know how it goes :>)
