I received my spiriva 18 mcg (tiova 18 mcg rot) and symbicort (formoterol+budesonide) from All Day Chemist in India. I haven't started them yet, and am wondering has anyone else tried them, any problems or anything I should be aware of?

I am curious, I use Symbicort, how much does it cost from ADC. I pay $23 for one Inhaler.

I've used ADC for several years. My pulmo said the Advair was identical and I didn't ask about the Spiriva. This outfit is WONDERFUL.
Their drugs are sold in all of the British Empire.

I was tipped off in my Efforts list aand am most grateful.

I order and have no problems at all with the meds I order from ADC. Advair $285 here, about $45 ADC. Some folks have no insurance. And there is always that wonderful medicare whole.

Symbicort here is $221.00 and ADC about $8.50

Just in case you don't know or make too much money to qualify. The makers of Advair and Spirival will provide medications free of charge if you are uninsured or in the donut hole and have spent a total of$ 600 for medication in a year. I believe the cut-off is around $35,000/yr. Just look at their web sites.
