The average retail price of a 90-day supply of Symbicort 160 mcg/ 4.5 mcg is $415 in the United States. When it comes to a necessary medication, that’s not exactly a deal. Even with discounts and coupons available for asthma medication online, the price may still be out of reach for many, especially those without insurance. We’ve detailed some ways that can help you cut costs on Symbicort and other asthma drugs below.
Symbicort (budesonide) is prescribed for the treatment of asthma. There are no generic alternatives for Symbicort available in the U.S. However, a generic version is currently available to order from verified international online pharmacies.
