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 100โฌ 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.
