Has it helped, is it expensive? Let me know if you had any problems with this drug. Thanks Bean

Hi Bean,
Check with your doctors office personnel and ask if they have a way to help pay for it. Also, contact the pharmaceutical company who manufacture it. I have a scholarship for my very expensive medication of which I don’t have to pay for the medication. It just cost so much money. These pharmaceutical companies have been very kind and generous to me.

Yes, I've used for a few years. It works immediately. I've never had side effects. Only downside is the process. Makes me cough.

Hi all I take it and it works. But if insurance didn’t cover it I certainly wouldn’t miss it

I have been on Inbrija since about June. It seems to help most times. I typically take 2 doses a day, but my DR said up to 5 is OK. It takes some work getting to be able to inhale it without coughing and gagging and it really tastes awful. But it is well worth it. I am fortunate to have great insurance because it is expensive stuff

Has anyone taken Inbrija for "off" times, and what has been their experience?

Inbrija is an inhaled form of levodopa that was FDA-approved in 2018 specifically to treat "off" episodes in Parkinson's disease. It's designed to work quickly when you're experiencing an "off" period.

While the search results don't include specific member experiences with Inbrija or information about its cost, it's one of several newer medications developed to help manage "off" times. The drug is delivered as an inhalation powder, which allows it to work faster than traditional oral medications.

Before starting Inbrija or any new medication, it's important to discuss with your doctor:

* Whether it's appropriate for your specific situation
* Potential side effects or interactions with your current medications
* Cost and insurance coverage options
* How to properly use the inhaler device

You might want to ask other MyParkinsonsTeam members directly about their personal experiences with Inbrija, including any challenges they've faced and whether their insurance covered it.

Your care team can also help you explore patient assistance programs if cost is a concern, as many pharmaceutical companies offer support for expensive medications.
