This is a follow up on the existing article “People with Asthma.”
I just refilled my prescription, Advair Hfa, and it cost close to $180! I had no choice but to fill it. According to the pharmacist, at my local drug store, he didn’t know if there was a generic form of Advair Hfa, and he was right.
There’s a generic name for Advair, which is Fluticasone/Salmeterol Inhaler (floo-TIK-a-sone/sal-ME-ter-ol), and the brand name is Advair HFA Inhaler. Unfortunately, there’s no generic fluticasone and salmeterol licensed for sale in U.S.
You can buy it online for about $106 (including shipping), and you have to have legitimate prescription from your doctor – it’s all up to you and your doctor.
Keep in mind that I am not a doctor or a pharmacist or a distributor – I am here to offer options so please talk with your doctor and with your local pharmacist.
