Exorbitant Prices Of Advair
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I am a mother of 2 boys ages 6 and 8 who were diagnosed last year with asthma. Their allergist prescribed Advair for both. My husband and I have been shocked and appalled by the outrageous price of this medication! The inhalers cost us $600 a month. The doctor's office is kind enough to provide samples on occasion, but even with the occasional sample at this price we might as well be paying 2 mortgages. The bottom line is that there is no generic of this medication and so GSK can charge whatever they want for it. Meanwhile, hard-working people all over the country who have insurance and pay ridiculously high monthly premiums, are suffering the consequences. It is what I would call shameful.

My husband has asthma and has been on Advair for as long as I can remember. We get his through pharmstore. You can get 3 month supply for $97.00, a generic brand (so we know there is a generic). Get online and check it out!!

Hello, Cynthia! How are you children doing?

Have you discussed the price problem with their doctor? There are other alternatives that the doctor can prescribe for your son's to try that are available as cheaper generics.

Is this the only medication that has been prescribed? The Advair website also offers a savings program that may help, if you're eligible.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, dry throat, cough and voice changes.
