Which Is The Beast And Cheap Medication For COPD?

I am a 64 yr. old woman. I have been diagnosed with c.o.p.d. My doctor prescribed advair 500 DISKUS 28 doses. Is this the best thing to use? I am on disability pension and I think I can not afford the high cost of this medication. Is there some other medication that might help me?
