AstraZeneca will cap inhaler costs at $35 per month
Quick Glance: AstraZeneca caps out-of-pocket costs for inhalers
  • AstraZeneca announced it will cap out-of-pocket costs for inhaled respiratory products in the US at $35 per month, following a similar move by rival Boehringer Ingelheim.

  • This decision comes amidst increasing political scrutiny of high drug prices in the US, particularly for inhalers used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

  • The out-of-pocket cost cap will be effective from June 1 for AstraZeneca's entire respiratory product portfolio, including popular inhalers like Airsupra, Bevespi Aerosphere, and Breztri Aerosphere.

  • AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot emphasized the need for comprehensive healthcare reform to ensure patients can afford essential medications.
