Pehea e mālama ai i ke kālā ma nā lāʻau

Hiki ke hoʻohui maoli i nā kumukūʻai o ka ʻeke no nā lāʻau lapaʻau. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi aia paha he mau ala e mālama ai i nā kumukūʻai lāʻau. E hoʻomaka ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā koho generic a i ʻole ke kau inoa ʻana no kahi papahana hoʻēmi. Eia kekahi ala palekana e mālama ai i nā lāʻau.

ʻO nā lāʻau lapaʻau Generic nā kope o nā lāʻau lapaʻau inoa. Loaʻa iā lākou ka lāʻau like e like me ka lāʻau inoa inoa. Ua ʻae ʻia kahi generic e like me ka palekana a me ka maikaʻi e ka Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai o ka inoa inoa lāʻau hōʻailona ma muli o ka noiʻi i hele i ka hana ʻana. ʻO ka lāʻau laulā kahi lāʻau like, a emi ke kumu kūʻai i ke kālā.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka mea like therapeutic ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa. He lāʻau lāʻau ʻokoʻa kēia, akā mālama ia i ke ʻano like. E holo like paha.

E noi i kāu mea mālama ola inā loaʻa kahi koho generic a i ʻole kahi mea like, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka lāʻau, no ka lāʻau āu e lawe nei.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kauoha i kahi lāʻau pālua o kāu lāʻau, a hoʻokaʻawale i nā pila i ka hapalua. Aia ia i ke ʻano o ka lāʻau a me ka lāʻau āu e lawe nei. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki iā ia ke mālama i kāu kālā.

He papa inoa ko ka FDA e hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale palekana. Inā ʻae ʻia ka pila no ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, e loaʻa kahi pepa ma ka ʻāpana "Pehea e hoʻolako ʻia ai" o ka lepili lāʻau. Aia kekahi laina ma ʻō aku o ka pila e hōʻike iā ʻoe i kahi e māhele ai iā ia. E hoʻokaʻawale wale ʻoe i hoʻokahi pila i hoʻokahi manawa a hoʻohana i nā hapalua ʻelua ma mua o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i kahi pila.

Mai hoʻokaʻawale i nā pila me ka kamaʻilio ʻole ʻole ʻana me kāu mea hāʻawi. Hoʻoweliweli paha kekahi mau lāʻau inā hoʻokaʻawale ma mua o ka hoʻohana.

E hoʻāʻo e loaʻa kahi hale kūʻai leka uila maikaʻi no kāu mau lāʻau lōʻihi. Hāʻawi paha kāu papahana olakino i hoʻokahi iā ʻoe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kauoha i kahi lako 90 lā a loaʻa i kahi copay haʻahaʻa.

Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi pūnaewele no nā kumukūʻai leka uila maikaʻi. A laila e nānā me kāu hoʻolālā olakino e hōʻoia i nā lāʻau āu e kūʻai ai mai ka papahana e uhi ʻia ma mua o kāu kauoha.

E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole palekana nā mea āpau ma ka pūnaewele. E hōʻoia me kāu hoʻolālā olakino a mea lawelawe paha ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana e hōʻoia i ka palekana o ka polokalamu.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke koho no kahi papahana kōkua lāʻau. Aia ia i kāu loaʻa kālā a me kāu pono olakino. Hāʻawi kekahi mau ʻoihana lāʻau lapaʻau i kēia mau papahana. Kapa ʻia lākou "nā polokalamu kōkua hoʻomanawanui." Loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi kāleka hoʻēmi, manuahi, a i ʻole nā ​​lāʻau lapaʻau haʻahaʻa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke noi pololei i ka ʻoihana lāʻau no nā lāʻau āu e lawe nei.

Pūnaewele e like me MakemakeMed (www.needymeds.org) a me ʻO ka launa ʻana no ke kōkua kuhikuhi (www.pparx.org) hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike i ke kōkua no nā lāʻau āu e lawe nei.

Hāʻawi kekahi mau mokuʻāina a me nā hoʻolālā ʻinikua i nā papahana kōkua. E hōʻoia me kāu hoʻolālā olakino a me nā pūnaewele aupuni kūloko.

Inā ʻoi aku ʻoe i 65, e nānā i loko o ka lāʻau lapaʻau kōkua (Medicare Part D). Hiki i kēia ʻinikua koho koho ke kōkua iā ʻoe e uku no kāu lāʻau.

E lawe i kāu mau lāʻau āpau e like me ke kuhikuhi e pale i nā pilikia e hiki ai ke alakaʻi i ka maʻi a me ka uku o waho o ka ʻeke. E haʻi i kāu mea hāʻawi inā lawe ʻoe i nā lāʻau ʻē aʻe, nā mea hoʻowalewale lāʻau, a i ʻole nā ​​lāʻau over-the-counter.

E kūkulu i kahi pilina maikaʻi me kāu kauka lāʻau. Hiki i kāu kauka lāʻau ke nānā aku iā ʻoe, e ʻōlelo i nā ala e mālama ai i ke kālā, a e hōʻoia i ka palekana o nā lāʻau āpau āu e lawe ai.

Hoʻoponopono i kāu kūlana. ʻO kekahi o nā ala maikaʻi loa e mālama i ke kālā ma nā kumukūʻai mālama olakino ka noho olakino.

E hōʻoia me kāu mea hoʻolako i kēlā me kēia kipa e ʻike pono ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka lawe ʻana i nā lāʻau. Aia paha he mau ala ʻē aʻe e hoʻokele i kāu kūlana i emi ke kumu kūʻai.

E kūʻai wale i nā lāʻau mai kahi hale kūʻai ʻo US i laikini ʻia. Mai kūʻai i nā lāʻau mai nā ʻāina ʻē e mālama i ke kālā. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka maikaʻi a me ka palekana o kēia mau lāʻau.

E kamaʻilio me kāu mea hāʻawi inā:

• Ke pilikia nei ʻoe i ka uku ʻana i kāu lāʻau
• He mau nīnau a hopohopo paha kāu e pili ana i kāu lāʻau
