Breathing shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars monthly. Yet when you have COPD, that single inhaler stands between you and respiratory distress. Missing doses doesn’t just cause discomfort. It lands you in emergency rooms or worse. The financial pressure of maintaining two expensive inhalers simultaneously pushes many people into impossible decisions.
At The Rx Advocates, we connect COPD patients to manufacturer programs that make combination bronchodilator therapy genuinely sustainable. Patient assistance programs ensure qualifying individuals maintain consistent access without financial barriers.
What is the Combivent Respimat Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical companies sponsor programs for patients requiring combination bronchodilator therapy who face financial barriers. The program ensures qualifying individuals maintain consistent access to ipratropium and albuterol inhalation spray.
You provide your pulmonologist’s prescription and household income documentation. Our team coordinates with your doctor’s office, assembles everything required, submits your application, and tracks it through approval. Once enrolled, your inhaler ships according to schedule.
We work with over 100 patient assistance programs covering over 800 FDA-approved medications. COPD patients typically need multiple respiratory medications. We handle applications for all simultaneously.
How to Qualify
To qualify for most programs, people must meet these guidelines:
- Individuals can qualify if they earn up to $40,000 annually
- Couples can qualify if they earn up to $60,000 annually
- Large families can qualify if they earn up to $100,000 annually
- Valid prescription from licensed healthcare provider
Pharmaceutical companies have different requirements, and even if you meet them all, it’s possible you’ll still be denied. Contact us to see your options.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Combivent Respimat Costs
We’re not an insurance policy or discount card program. We know how to move through pharmaceutical companies’ patient assistance programs designed to provide medications at no cost.
Patients can apply themselves, but the process is long and confusing. Many give up before approval. We work with patients and doctors to put together applications, ensuring all needed information is collected. We submit applications and follow up to ensure the process moves along. After approval, we continue handling paperwork including refills.
When patients work with us, they only pay a monthly service fee based on medication count.

About Combivent Respimat
This medication is for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease already using one inhaler but still having symptoms.
How it works: Ipratropium and albuterol are bronchodilators. They relax muscles in the airway allowing more airflow into lungs. COPD causes airflow blockages and breathing problems including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema damages tiny air sacs making it harder for oxygen to enter the bloodstream. Chronic bronchitis is swelling and irritation causing mucus buildup.
Administration: Delivered through inhaler four times per day. One inhaler contains 120 doses providing one-month supply. Consistent use essential for managing symptoms.
Side effects:
- Common: Cough, dry mouth, headache, nausea
- Serious: Paradoxical bronchospasm, urinary retention, narrow-angle glaucoma, cardiovascular effects
Important warnings: Anyone with an allergic reaction to albuterol, ipratropium, or atropine should not use it. Not for anyone under 18. Tell your doctor about all other medications you’re taking.

COPD is progressive. Skipping doses because of cost concerns accelerates lung function decline and increases hospitalization risk. Combination bronchodilator therapy works when used consistently.
The financial pressure of maintaining respiratory medications shouldn’t determine whether you can breathe comfortably.
