What does Symbicort cost at CVS right now?
CVS prices for Symbicort can vary by:
- the exact product strength (for example, Symbicort 80/4.5 vs 160/4.5),
- package size (number of inhalers/fluticasone-budesonide units),
- whether you’re using a CVS pharmacy benefit plan,
- and whether any manufacturer or store promotions apply.
Because CVS pricing changes frequently and depends on your specific product and ZIP code, the most accurate way to see the current price is to check Symbicort directly on CVS’s website or app using your location.
How to find the cheapest Symbicort price at CVS (cash vs insurance)
To get the lowest out-of-pocket price, check both:
- the “insurance/benefit price” shown after you enter your prescription information, and
- the “no insurance/cash price” option.
If you have insurance, the displayed copay can be lower than the cash price even when both are shown on the same listing page.
Could CVS discounts or manufacturer programs lower the price?
Symbicort sometimes qualifies for discounts or savings offers, but availability depends on the current promotion and the specific formulation. If you see a “savings” or “coupon” option on the CVS listing, that’s the fastest way to apply it.
