A member asked:

Are their any generic or affordable inhalers that have a similar effect as advair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

No but: there are certainly comparable inhalers which may have better coverage by your insurers. Many insurers stopped coverage for Advair this year for reason unknown to me although I suspect that this is more an economic issue.
