About FORMOTEROL FUMARATE and its cost

What is this medication? Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting bronchodilator used to control and prevent symptoms caused by chronic lung diseases. It is primarily prescribed for the long-term management of asthma in adults and children, often in combination with an inhaled steroid. Additionally, it is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD, which includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. By relaxing the muscles in the airways, the medication helps to keep the air passages open, making it easier for the patient to breathe over an extended period. This medication is also frequently used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm in patients who experience shortness of breath or wheezing during physical activity. It is important to note that formoterol fumarate is considered a maintenance treatment and is not intended for use as a rescue inhaler to treat a sudden, acute asthma attack. Patients are typically advised to use it on a regular schedule to maintain clear airways, while keeping a fast-acting inhaler available for emergency situations. Because it is long-acting, its effects can last for up to twelve hours after administration.

FORMOTEROL FUMARATE is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 FORMOTEROL FUMARATE?

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 FORMOTEROL FUMARATE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover FORMOTEROL FUMARATE?

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 Chronic Bronchitis?

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.
