What Is Symbicort Prescription Assistance Program?
The Symbicort Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Symbicort at no medication cost to qualifying patients. The program is available to U.S. citizens and legal residents without insurance or with limited incomes.
AffordMyPrescriptions ensures effective respiratory care is accessible. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates identify the most affordable pathway — whether that’s the brand PAP, a $0 copay card, or the dramatically cheaper generic.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Symbicort costs hundreds of dollars or more per month at retail pharmacies. Discount programs offer some relief, but they don’t come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides, if you qualify:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens | ~$100 | Save ~$30/mo |
| CVS Pharmacy | ~$97 | Save ~$27/mo |
| Walmart | ~$98 | Save ~$28/mo |
| Costco | ~$92 | Save ~$22/mo |
*Just a heads-up — retail prices are estimates based on public data and vary by pharmacy. AffordMyPrescriptions Advocacy Service bypasses this by using drug manufacturer programs to secure your medication directly at no cost or retail price.

Understanding Symbicort:
Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) is a prescription combination maintenance inhaler used to treat asthma in patients 6 years and older and COPD in adults. It combines an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation and a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) that relaxes airway muscles. Taken as 2 puffs twice daily, 12 hours apart.
How It Works:
Budesonide reduces chronic inflammation that narrows airways, while formoterol activates beta-2 receptors on smooth muscle cells, causing them to relax and airways to open wider. Formoterol begins working within minutes and provides bronchodilation for up to 12 hours.
Form and Use:
Available in 80/4.5 mcg and 160/4.5 mcg strengths. Each canister contains 120 inhalations (30-day supply). Shake well before each use and rinse mouth with water afterward to reduce oral thrush risk.
Generic/Biosimilar Availability:
Generic budesonide/formoterol is available and FDA-approved as bioequivalent to brand-name Symbicort. Generic versions cost approximately $92–$214 with coupons, compared to $334–$492 for brand Symbicort. A branded generic (Breyna) is also available.
Warnings:
Symbicort is a maintenance inhaler — NOT a rescue inhaler. Always carry a separate rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Do not stop using without consulting your doctor.
