Key Takeaways:
- Perforomist (formoterol fumarate inhalation solution 20 mcg/2 mL) is FDA-approved for the long-term, twice-daily maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is a nebulized long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA).
- Without assistance, brand Perforomist costs commonly run approximately $300–$420 per 60-vial supply (one month).
- Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients can access Perforomist for a flat $69.95 per month — our advocacy team manages the entire enrollment, refills, and renewal process.
- Generic formoterol fumarate inhalation solution is now widely available at substantially lower cost — often $50–$120 per 60-vial supply with a coupon. Other nebulized LABA options include arformoterol (Brovana). Inhaled LABA/LAMA combinations (Stiolto Respimat, Bevespi Aerosphere, Anoro Ellipta) and LABA/ICS combinations may be more convenient inhaler options for many COPD patients.
What Is Perforomist Prescription Assistance Program?
The Perforomist Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Perforomist at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for COPD patients who are uninsured or underinsured.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, pulmonology/primary care coordination, prior-authorization documentation, and renewal deadlines.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refill coordination and renewal.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, brand Perforomist costs roughly $300–$420/month. Generic formoterol is dramatically cheaper. A Patient Assistance Program is the meaningful path forward — if you qualify:

Understanding Perforomist:
Perforomist (formoterol fumarate inhalation solution) is a twice-daily nebulized long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) used for maintenance bronchodilation in COPD. Nebulized delivery is useful for patients who cannot effectively use handheld inhalers — including some elderly patients, those with severe COPD, and patients with poor inhaler technique.
How Perforomist Works:
COPD causes bronchoconstriction, where smooth muscles contract and narrow the airways, making breathing difficult. Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist that relaxes these smooth muscles, offering a quick onset within 5 to 15 minutes and lasting for about 12 hours. The nebulized solution delivers the medication through a jet or vibrating mesh nebulizer, providing an effective alternative to handheld inhalers. This method is especially useful for patients with poor inhaler technique or severe COPD who lack the adequate inspiratory flow required for dry powder inhalers.
Form and use:
Perforomist is administered twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, using one 20 mcg/2 mL unit-dose vial. The solution is inhaled via a standard jet nebulizer with a mouthpiece, with each session lasting between 5 to 10 minutes. It should not be mixed with other nebulizer medications unless explicitly directed by a prescriber. Like all long-acting beta2-agonists, Perforomist is designed strictly for daily maintenance therapy and must not be used to treat acute bronchospasms.
Generic availability:
Generic formoterol fumarate inhalation solution is widely available in the U.S. at a substantially lower cost than brand-name Perforomist. Another nebulized alternative is arformoterol, though patients who can manage handheld devices typically find inhaler formats more convenient. Available inhaler alternatives feature combination therapies that include options like salmeterol, umeclidinium/vilanterol, tiotropium/olodaterol, and glycopyrrolate/formoterol. Triple-therapy inhalers, such as Breztri Aerosphere, are also available to combine a LABA with other necessary maintenance medications.
Warnings:
Perforomist carries a boxed warning regarding asthma-related death when long-acting beta2-agonists are used alone without an inhaled corticosteroid, though it is only approved to treat COPD. The medication also carries warnings for paradoxical bronchospasm, which can worsen breathing immediately after administration. Additional potential risks include immediate hypersensitivity reactions and cardiovascular effects like tachycardia, arrhythmias, and blood pressure fluctuations. Patients may also experience metabolic and neurological side effects, including hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, tremors, and nervousness.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Much Does Perforomist Cost Without Insurance?
Brand Perforomist costs approximately $300–$420 per 60-vial monthly supply. Generic formoterol is dramatically cheaper, often $50–$120/month with a coupon. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Perforomist at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management. Most patients find generic formoterol is the cheaper path.
Is Generic Formoterol Inhalation Solution The Same As Brand Perforomist?
Yes. The FDA approves generic formoterol fumarate inhalation solution as bioequivalent to brand Perforomist. Most pharmacies stock generic; most insurance plans prefer generic. Most prescribers are comfortable with generic.
Why Nebulized Instead Of An Inhaler?
Nebulized delivery is useful for patients who cannot effectively use handheld inhalers — including some elderly patients, patients with severe COPD and poor inspiratory flow, patients with cognitive impairment affecting inhaler technique, and patients with severe arthritis affecting inhaler manipulation. For patients who can use inhalers well, inhalers (especially combination LABA/LAMA inhalers like Anoro Ellipta, Stiolto Respimat) are usually more convenient and require less time per dose.
Can Perforomist Be Used For Asthma?
No. Perforomist is approved only for COPD. In asthma, LABAs as monotherapy carry an increased risk of asthma-related death — they must always be combined with an inhaled corticosteroid (typically as a fixed-dose combination inhaler like Advair, Symbicort, Breo). Perforomist is not for asthma.
Can I Mix Perforomist With My Albuterol Or Budesonide?
Generally avoid mixing in the nebulizer cup without specific prescriber guidance. Some combinations are compatible; others may be incompatible. Discuss with your pulmonologist or pharmacist. Some patients run different nebulized medications sequentially in the same session.
Is Perforomist A Rescue Inhaler?
No. Perforomist is a long-acting maintenance bronchodilator — not for relief of acute bronchospasm. Continue to use your short-acting rescue inhaler (albuterol, levalbuterol) for sudden breathing symptoms. The onset of formoterol is somewhat rapid (~5–15 minutes) compared with salmeterol, but the medication is still intended for chronic twice-daily use.
What If My Application Is Denied?
If denied, we explore alternatives — switching to generic formoterol (much cheaper), nebulized arformoterol (Brovana, also generic), or to an inhaler-format LABA/LAMA combination (Anoro Ellipta, Stiolto Respimat) if handheld inhaler use is feasible, the manufacturer’s copay program for commercially insured patients, or independent foundations such as the COPD Foundation, American Lung Association, PAN Foundation, or HealthWell Foundation. If we cannot find a path, you won’t be charged our service fee.
