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.

wtf? 100$ per inhaler?

My inhalers cost my insurance 100โ‚ฌ 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.
