    I was remembering the cost of my wife’s regular-use inhalers (she used to have pretty bad asthma) which were over $100 each, but it looks like daily-use ones are different than emergency ones. It could also just be a US thing.

    Having never had asthma myself, I never really thought to look up the differences or prices to be honest.

      wtf? 100$ per inhaler for long-term treatment?

      My inhalers cost my insurance 100€ for 6 (120 usages per inhalter = yearly dose)

      No, you’re right. Our cat has asthma and her daily use inhaler is much more expensive than the emergency one.

      However, my brother is on the same medicine – he just uses the over the counter nasal spray version. It’s MUCH cheaper but I can’t figure out how to use nasal spray with a cat 🤣
