Advair Prescription Assistance Programs

Advair is one of the most popular medications available for the effective treatment of asthma attacks. It’s a preventative drug that reduces the prevalence of asthma attacks along with flare-ups from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with bronchitis and/or emphysema. The main active ingredient in Advair, called salmeterol, is a bronchodilator, plus fluticasone is added to make it a combination drug that uses multiple ingredients to increase effectiveness. Advair compliments long-term asthma control devices for a comprehensive approach to managing all the symptoms of asthma.

For cash paying customers, the costs of Advair can rise to over $200 for a 14-day supply, which is not affordable, especially for someone without health insurance. For patients on the lower socioeconomic scale, a patient assistance program can lower the price of Advair significantly. Asthma sufferers should have access and be able to afford the best treatment and medication available.

Saving Money on Advair

Advair has been approved by the FDA for being generally safe and effective in the treatment of asthma. It treats the two main problems affecting asthma sufferers: airway obstruction and constriction. It’s a popular drug used by millions of asthma sufferers around the world but in the United States, the costs for prescription drugs are steadily rising. Luckily, Advair manufacturer GSK offers a variety of prescription assistance and discount programs to offset the costs of the medication. However, maneuvering the different eligibility requirements and programs offered is not easy.

Here at Prescription Assistance 123, we have a working relationship with drug manufacturers and negotiate directly on your behalf to lower the cost of your Advair medication. Contact us today at 888.344.8915 to speak with a patient advocate and let’s start processing your application!
