What’s the current price for albuterol sulfate inhalation solution?
Price for albuterol sulfate inhalation solution varies by strength, package size (vials vs. multi-dose cartons), manufacturer, and where you buy (retail vs. mail order vs. hospital supply contracts). The provided information doesn’t include specific, up-to-date pricing.
Which strengths and package sizes change the cost?
Costs typically differ by:
- Concentration (common options include 0.5 mg/mL and 2.5 mg/3 mL, depending on the product line)
- Unit count (number of single-use vials per box or carton)
- Whether it’s a branded product or an AB-rated generic
How much do generics vs. brand-name versions cost?
Generic albuterol sulfate inhalation solutions are usually cheaper than brand-name versions, but the exact difference depends on the specific product and the dispensing channel. Some formularies also favor certain generic manufacturers, which can affect your out-of-pocket cost.
Where can I check the most reliable retail pricing?
For current pricing, the fastest approach is to check a price database that updates frequently and shows multiple NDC-linked listings.

If you tell me the exact product (NDC) I can narrow it down
If you share any of the following, I can help pinpoint the most likely price range and what to compare:
- NDC number (from the box or label)
- Concentration (e.g., 0.5 mg/mL vs. 2.5 mg/3 mL)
- Pack size (e.g., 25 vials, 50 vials, etc.)
- Your location (country/state) and whether you want retail or hospital/wholesale
Are there cheaper alternatives if albuterol is too expensive?
If cost is the issue, common options to ask your clinician or pharmacist about include:
- Switching to a different generic manufacturer of the same strength/format
- Substituting an equivalent albuterol inhalation product covered by your plan
- Using any pharmacy discount programs or cash-pay pricing tiers your pharmacy offers
If you reply with the NDC or the exact strength + number of vials, I’ll tailor the price comparison more tightly.
