Less than three months after U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and her colleagues launched an investigation into the four major American manufacturers of inhalers, three of the companies have relented, making commitments to cap costs for their inhalers at $35 for patients who now pay much more.

25 million Americans have asthma and 16 million Americans have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), meaning over 40 million Americans rely on inhalers to breathe.

Inhalers have been available since the 1950s, and most of the drugs they use have been on the market for more than 25 years.

According to a statement from the Wisconsin Senator’s office, inhaler manufacturers sell the exact same products at a much lower costs in other countries. One of AstraZeneca’s inhalers, Breztri Aerosphere, costs $645 in the U.S.—but just $49 in the UK. Inhalers made by Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, and Teva have similar disparities.

Baldwin and her Democratic colleagues—New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján, Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders—pressured the companies to lower their prices by writing letters to GSK, Boehringer Ingelheim, Teva, and AstraZeneca requesting a variety of documents that show why such higher prices are charged in America compared to Europe.

As a ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Baldwin recently announced that as a result of the letters they had secured commitments from three of the four to lower the out-of-pocket costs of inhalers to a fixed $35.00 rate.

“For the millions of Americans who rely on inhalers to breathe, this news is a major step in the right direction as we work to lower costs and hold big drug companies accountable,” said Senator Baldwin.

A full list of the inhalers and associated drugs can be viewed here.

It’s the second time in the last year that pharmaceutical companies were forced to provide reasonable prices—after the cost of insulin was similarly capped successfully at $35 per month thanks to Congressional actions led by the White House.

hate it when lame dudes in movies use inhalers and then...don't by the end of the movie? like they've become not-lame and they have moved past the need for their inhaler. bro getting up the courage to kiss your girl best friend does not mean your asthma has been cured. wtf

#tbf. idrk if inhalers r used for things other than asthma. maybe some ppl do use them for anxiety. but still....... #my posts #anyway. just watched hitch 🥰✌

I have seen some horrors, so here's a PSA to all my homies who have asthma/use inhalers.

I have seen too many people use their inhaler improperly, essentially making the medicine useless, and it makes my own chest hurt just watching it. 🥲

Shake it first before you use it

Exhale as deep as you can before you take the puff, and inhale as deeply as you can while you are pressing down on the canister. A normal shallow breath won't get the medicine in your chest, so it won't do anything to help.

Make sure your lips are closed around the mouthpiece when you take the puff! Treat it like a kazoo or a harmonica. If your lips are not all the way around, some air might escape out the gaps.

After you take the puff, hold your breath for ten seconds if you are able. If not, try for at least 5. It's important to hold the medication in your lungs so it can do its work.

Wait a bit and take deep breaths in between the first and second puff.

I hope this helps. Stay healthy and take care of your lungs! Mucus buildup can be torture sometimes, so we gotta make sure we aren't making things harder for ourselves than we already are. :D

Whump Prompt #1166

Anon asked:

Do you have any specific whumps for the aftermath of some sort of inhaled poison/smoke?

I want the whumpee, who heroically escaped from a magic fire, to be begrudgingly weakened by asthma-like symptoms. 

Sure:

Some symptoms for this could include:

Tightness in the chest

Shortness of breath

Chest pain

Gasping for breath

Fatigue

^ The above causing things like light-headedness and anxiousness/panic. This could also result in the whumpee fainting. 

Further symptoms could include:

Blue/pale lips

Confusion

Difficulty walking/talking

These can all be exaggerated by the whumpee having to physically exert themselves/talk a lot in the aftermath of the fire. 

If this is a fantasy setting, maybe their lips turn the colour of the smoke (so green smoke = green lips.) This makes it harder to hide.

i was replaying security breach again while my cousins were around, when the instruction card popped up about the stamina meter I jokingly said:

“damn this kid has asthma”

my cousins though i was being serious, but tbh it would be some interesting he to put on him for me…

i wrote it all in tags oh boy..😭

#just an average kid who is forced to exceed his limits of stamina or else he will die #he definitely would use hiding in freddy a lot #when freddy is low on power he would try his best to not get caught in bad situations #fazerblast and faz cade almost exceeded him to his limit #especially during faz cade he definitely had to sit in the security room for a good few minutes to recover his breath and the continue on #after security breach he finally was able to get an inhaler and not worry about dying #he loves sports liek crazy but can’t do much because of having asthma and he brings himself down a lot bed of it #but he still tried his best with some sports when he has the chance :)) #vanessa just gets big protective sis/mom mode and worries for him a lot but he’s just a stubborn kid.. #anyways enough of that WOOHOO #fnaf #fnaf security breach #fnaf gregory #txt post #headcanon

If anybody wakes Spot up, they wake up like they're having Vietnam flashbacks. Like, eyes flashing wide open, shooting straight-up, that shocked gasp and the very agitated "What?" to try figure out why they were woken up.

#last one of tonight i swear #inspired by me having to wake my mam after i had an asthma attack and couldn't find my inhaler #newsies #uksies #spot conlon

Aro was chronically ill his whole life, but never new the root cause and true severity until adulthood. He was always the kid who’s wrists hurt from spinning his saber, or knees ache from sitting too long while meditating. He always seemed to catch something everytime he left Coruscant.

It was’t long until Aro was unable to keep up with his classes and fell behind his peers. He was unable to keep up, which resulted in Aro nearly being ejected from the initiate program and ejected from the order. It was Master Ima Gun Di who advocated for Aro to be allowed to take the padawan trials at 14, and miraculously Aro passed.

((A little fact: Nite keeps one of Aro’s emergency inhalers in his belt pouch in case Aro needs it, can’t get to his, or if it’s damaged in a fight. (A pressurized can and flying laser beams sound like a healthy mix.) Likewise, Aro keeps his daily meds in a pouch on his own belt.))
