Frequently Asked Questions
Why are asthma inhalers so expensive in the US?
Inhaler patents cover both the active drug AND the delivery device, preventing true generics for decades. ScriptUnlock helps you find the lowest bid price across all available brand and authorised generic options.
Is there a generic albuterol inhaler?
Yes. Generic albuterol HFA inhalers have been FDA-approved since 2020. They cost significantly less than brand ProAir or Ventolin — ScriptUnlock bids surface these savings.
What is the difference between a rescue and a controller inhaler?
Rescue inhalers (albuterol, levalbuterol) provide rapid bronchodilation for acute symptoms. Controller inhalers (inhaled corticosteroids, LABAs) are taken daily to prevent attacks. Both are priced very differently.
Can I save on Advair Diskus through ScriptUnlock?
Generic fluticasone/salmeterol is now available and typically costs 40–60% less than brand Advair. ScriptUnlock bids will show you the lowest available price for both.
Is montelukast (Singulair) a good alternative to inhalers?
Montelukast is an oral leukotriene modifier used as an add-on therapy. It is available as an affordable generic (~$10–$20/month). Your doctor can advise on whether it's appropriate for your asthma profile.
