Why Patient Assistance Programs Beat Coupons

There are disadvantages of using a coupon that patients should consider when budgeting for long-term medication expenses. Patient assistance programs provide more reliable solutions.

Coupon limitations

  • Pharmacy restrictions: Might only be valid at specific pharmacies or have eligibility criteria
  • Copay accumulators: Certain insurance plans utilize programs meaning coupons may not count towards out-of-pocket maximum
  • Expiration dates: Typically have expiration dates requiring patients to fill prescriptions while valid
  • Limited coverage: Despite having coupons, medications may still be expensive if not fully covered by insurance

PAP advantages

  • Greater savings: Far exceed those of simple coupons or savings cards
  • Price stability: Your cost always stays the same regardless of retail price changes
  • Simplified process: We make the process as simple as possible
  • Higher approval rates: Our dedicated team increases your chances of approval

About Spiriva Handihaler

Spiriva Handihaler (tiotropium bromide) is an inhalation powder used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

How it works: A long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles around the airways to help keep them open and make breathing easier. It helps prevent symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.

Administration: Administered using the HandiHaler device, which is a special inhaler that delivers the medication in powder form. Typically taken once daily at the same time each day.

Side effects:

  • Common: Dry mouth, constipation, upset stomach, sinus pain
  • Serious: Paradoxical bronchospasm, glaucoma, urinary retention, allergic reactions

Important warnings: Not for treating sudden breathing problems. Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, enlarged prostate, bladder obstruction, or kidney problems. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly needed.

Get Started Today

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requires consistent daily medication for symptom management. When Spiriva Handihaler becomes unaffordable, treatment gets interrupted and breathing difficulties worsen.

Pharmaceutical companies fund assistance programs specifically to prevent this scenario. Most patients never discover these resources exist. Those who do often find the application process overwhelming.
