I was remembering the cost of my wife’s regular-use inhalers (she used to have pretty bad asthma) which were over $100 each, but it looks like daily-use ones are different than emergency ones. It could also just be a US thing.
Having never had asthma myself, I never really thought to look up the differences or prices to be honest.
No, you’re right. Our cat has asthma and her daily use inhaler is much more expensive than the emergency one.
However, my brother is on the same medicine – he just uses the over the counter nasal spray version. It’s MUCH cheaper but I can’t figure out how to use nasal spray with a cat 🤣
Which drug did you look up? Albuterol can be bought for like $10

wtf? 100$ per inhaler for long-term treatment?
My inhalers cost my insurance 100€ for 6 (120 usages per inhalter = yearly dose)
It looks like some generics are pretty cheap, but many inhalers look to be unreasonably expensive here. Thanks US healthcare system :(
At least if you can find one of the generics, it can be under $40 it looks like.
