You had me curious so I went and looked it up, and it looks like emergency inhalers actually can be found for under $100, if only barely! TIL, I figured you needed insurance to cover it to even consider buying one.
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 for long-term treatment?
My inhalers cost my insurance 100€ for 6 (120 usages per inhalter = yearly dose)
No, you’re right. Our cat has asthma and her daily use inhaler is much more expensive than the emergency one.
However, my brother is on the same medicine – he just uses the over the counter nasal spray version. It’s MUCH cheaper but I can’t figure out how to use nasal spray with a cat 🤣
