I have tried warming it in my hands and that doesn't help. The clear liquid does turn a little milky but not close to a pale yellow. Verona Pharma supplied it. They're very nice but haven't resolved the issue for me as yet.

Verona is the manufacturer. A specialty pharmacy sends you the medication. Contact them. Try to speak with their pharmacist or customer service. Not Verona.
Also a lot of assistance available for payment. You could also check that with the specialty pharmacy.

I understand that but the 'bridge' package came directly from Verona. CVS is the Specialty Pharmacy that will send future refills but they would not speak with me since I did not get the product from them. Not happy about that.

I'm aware of a couple of financial assistance programs - applied for both. Have been approved for one. So, good news there!

We had them present to my local nonprofit Board today. They said
1. can be used for any kind of copd;
2. it’s in suspension so it doesn’t matter how package is shipped or stored;
3. the particles are suspended in solution and need to be well shaken for optimal effectiveness—they fong dissolve but you want them throughout the solution;
4. it’s a Medicare B drug, like other nebulized meds; and
5. use any jet nebulizer to dispense in about 7 minutes 2x/day.
