In this article<\/label>Advair HFA<\/span> is a prescription <\/span>inhaler<\/span> that combines a long-acting <\/span>beta agonist<\/span> (LABA) to <\/span>open up bronchial tubes<\/span> with an <\/span>inhaled corticosteroid<\/span> (ICS) to reduce airway inflammation. It works wonderfully for asthma and may be used <\/span>off-label<\/span> for <\/span>chronic obstructive pulmonary disease<\/span> (COPD). Relief from wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath is priceless, but <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> can carry a hefty price tag for those without insurance. One 12-gram, <\/span>brand-name<\/span> 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span> has an estimated retail cost of $540. With coupons, <\/span>discount cards<\/span>, and other savings tips, you can lower the price significantly, making it worthwhile to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is the generic for <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\nYes, Advair HFA<\/span> has a generic form available. The <\/span>active ingredients<\/span> are the same: the <\/span>LABA<\/span> salmeterol<\/span> and the ICS <\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>. Both brand and <\/span>generic versions<\/span> are available as 12-gram <\/span>inhalers<\/span> containing <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> in three dose combinations: 45-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> per dose, 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> per dose, and 230-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> per dose. Brand-name <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> also comes in a smaller 8-gram inhaler size.<\/span><\/p>\nGenerics are typically less expensive than their <\/span>brand-name<\/span> counterparts, and <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> is no exception. A generic 12-gram <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> inhaler<\/span> with a 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> dose can be purchased for $260 with a SingleCare <\/span>discount card<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\nIs <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\nInsurance coverage<\/span> for <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span>, both brand and <\/span>generic versions<\/span>, is highly variable. You should check the <\/span>drug formulary<\/span> if you have a <\/span>prescription drug<\/span> plan via your commercial <\/span>health insurance<\/span> or <\/span>Medicare<\/span> Advantage plan. The formulary will tell you if <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> coverage is included and what your <\/span>copay<\/span> will be.<\/span><\/p>\nThere are a number of alternative <\/span>inhalers<\/span> that combine an LABA and ICS, and whether <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> or another option is preferred is up to the <\/span>insurance company<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow much does <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\nWithout insurance, an <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span> with 12 grams of medication can cost $540. Considering that this <\/span>inhaler<\/span> delivers 120 <\/span>inhalations<\/span> and <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span> is typically taken as 2 <\/span>inhalations<\/span> twice daily, the price is $540 per month. Advair is a daily controller and not an <\/span>as-needed rescue <\/span>inhaler<\/span> like albuterol<\/span>. That breaks down to $18 each day with an annual expense of $6,480.<\/span><\/p>\nSpecific pricing does depend on some variable factors. The numbers will differ from one pharmacy to another. Dosing matters as well. Lower doses tend to come with a lower price.<\/span><\/p>\nAs we have covered, generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> HFA is cheaper than brand <\/span>Advair HFA<\/span>. A 12-gram, 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span> with a SingleCare discount costs $260. The lower dose <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> 12-gram <\/span>inhaler<\/span> delivers <\/span>45-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> doses with each <\/span>inhalation<\/span> and is discounted at $220. Conversely, the 230-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>inhaler<\/span> at the same 12-gram size can cost $340 with a discount. Your <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> will determine which dose is best for controlling your asthma.<\/span><\/p>\nConsidering the other LABA-ICS combination <\/span>inhalers<\/span> may also help with savings and present a price advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nCompare Advair HFA prices to related drugs<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n\n\nAdvair HFA<\/span> inhaler<\/span> (<\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>\u2013<\/span>salmeterol<\/span>)<\/span><\/td>\n $540 per 1, 12 gram 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $260 per 1, 12 gram 115-21 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAirduo Respiclick <\/span>inhaler<\/span> (<\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>\u2013<\/span>salmeterol<\/span>)<\/span><\/td>\n $525 per 1, 113-14 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $120 per 1, 113-14 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAdvair Diskus<\/span> dry powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span> (<\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>\u2013<\/span>salmeterol<\/span>)<\/span><\/td>\n $540 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $48 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWixhela Inhub<\/span> dry powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span> (<\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>\u2013<\/span>salmeterol<\/span>)<\/span><\/td>\n $500 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $48 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGeneric <\/span>fluticasone propionate<\/span>\u2013<\/span>salmeterol<\/span> diskus<\/span><\/td>\n $440 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $48 per 1, 60-dose 250-50 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic <\/span>fluticasone-salmeterol<\/span> dry-powder diskus <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nBreo<\/span> Ellipta<\/span> dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span> (fluticasone furoate-vilanterol)<\/span><\/td>\n $190 per 1, 60-dose dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $250 per 1, 60-dose generic fluticasone-vilanterol dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGeneric fluticasone furoate-vilanterol dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $610 per 1, 60-dose dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $250 per 1, 60-dose generic fluticasone-vilanterol dry-powder <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSymbicort<\/span> inhaler<\/span> (budesonide-formoterol)\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n $510 per 1, 10.2 gram 160-4.5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $110 per 1, 10.2 gram 160-4.5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic budesonide-formoterol <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGeneric budesonide-formoterol <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $600 per 1, 10.2 gram 160-4.5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $110 per 1, 10.2 gram 160-4.5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic budesonide-formoterol <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDulera <\/span>inhaler<\/span> (mometasone-formoterol)\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n $480 per 1, 13 gram 200-5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n $330 per 1, 13 gram 200-5 <\/span>mcg<\/span> generic mometasone-formoterol <\/span>inhaler<\/span><\/td>\n See latest prices<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nPrescription drug<\/span><\/i> prices often change.
