Manufacturers Agree To Cap Cost On Inhalers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Many Americans with asthma and COPD will soon pay only $35 for their inhalers. Three of the four major manufacturers have agreed to cap the cost.

The announcement comes months after a Senate committee launched an investigation into the price of asthma inhalers.

That investigation showed that Americans are paying more than 10 times for the inhalers compared to nations in other developed countries. 

More than 20 million people in the United States have asthma.
