I know nothing of those drugs, sorry. I'd try doing an online or google search if you can't find anything here. Good luck

I have asthma and use a med that most people don't know anything about other than someone who has asthma.
To find the best prices I simply went to the list of pharmacies and went through each one and checked prices.
I actually found my inhalers cheaper from Mexico than the US. Then I discovered a placed called masters-marketing which was even cheaper than the cheapest place I could previously find.
I actually like their inhalers better, not only were they cheaper but the writting is in english.
I spent days but looking but I was able to learn alot and find some good source.
Prices vary alot between places. I have seen generic synthroid really cheap at lots of places.
I just got a legal pad and started on the pharmacy lists and looked up the medication I needed and wrote down the price. The prices on the inhalers I use varied from 4.30 to 28.00. I was able to get 5 inhalers for what I was paying for one in the US.
Good luck.

See if you have a Costco in your area. You do not have to be a member to use the pharmacy. Also, try going to www.needymeds.com and see if she would qualify for the free programs.

My humble opinion is u will pay more for these meds through an online pharmacy.
Sweetz is right, Costco has the best pharmacy prices , if your friend has a prescription from doctor.
Is she cannot afford the doctor, to get the written RX, then never mind, I could see where an online pharmacy would benefit her.

Any sort of free or assistance programs would be of the best benefit, as since your friend is diagnosed with emphysema, she should be seeing a doctor regularly.
In addition, those meds you listed are not all to common in the OP world and would probably be hards to find or very expensive.
Good Luck!

Thanks you all for the help!! I went to the Costco website and found these meds to be cheaper than Kroger. Also we are investigating the "needy meds link"

IOPs might have them cheaper .. try:
shoprxonline.com (using them for awhile)
offshorerx.com (used them twice -- shipping kills the good deals though)
