About Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol HFA and its cost

What is this medication? Fluticasone propionate and salmeterol HFA is a prescription combination inhaler used for the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients twelve years of age and older. It contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to improve breathing. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that helps decrease inflammation and swelling in the lungs, making the airways less sensitive to triggers. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, or bronchodilator, which works by relaxing the muscles around the airways to help them stay open for a longer period.

This medication is meant for daily, long-term use and is not intended to treat sudden, acute symptoms or an active asthma attack. For immediate relief of breathing problems, a separate rescue inhaler must be used. When taken consistently as prescribed, this combination therapy helps to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Users are generally advised to rinse their mouth with water and spit after each application to reduce the risk of developing a fungal infection in the mouth or throat.

Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol HFA is made by GlaxoSmithKline. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol HFA?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol HFA?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But GlaxoSmithKline has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol HFA?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Asthma?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
