About This Medication

# COVIS Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Tudorza Pressair at Low or No Cost Tudorza Pressair (aclidinium bromide) is a prescription inhaler used for long-term maintenance treatment of **chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)** in adults. The **COVIS Patient Assistance Program** helps eligible patients access this medication at low or no cost by contacting Covis Pharma directly.[2][4] ## About Tudorza Pressair Tudorza Pressair is an **anticholinergic inhaler** delivered via the Pressair device, providing 400 mcg of aclidinium bromide per dose. It is taken as **one inhalation twice daily** to help relax and open airways in the lungs, improving breathing for COPD patients. COPD is a progressive lung disease often caused by smoking or long-term exposure to irritants, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing.[4] **Important notes**: - For oral inhalation only; do not swallow capsules. - No therapeutically equivalent generics are available in the US.[1] - Common side effects include headache, cough, and nasopharyngitis. Report serious issues like worsening breathing or allergic reactions to Covis Pharma at 1-877-411-2510.[4] - Always follow your doctor's instructions and the FDA-approved label. The wholesale price is about **$270 for a 30-dose inhaler** or **$450 for 60 doses**, but out-of-pocket costs vary. Patient assistance can make it free for those who qualify.[1] ## Who Qualifies for the COVIS Patient Assistance Program?
