Flovent too expensive? Learn how to save on Fluticasone Propionate inhalers with discount cards, coupons, patient assistance programs, and more in 2026.
If you're paying for Fluticasone Propionate (the medication formerly sold as Flovent) out of pocket, you know inhaler costs can add up fast. Even with the price drop that came when GSK discontinued brand-name Flovent in 2024, the generic still costs $50-$150 per inhaler without insurance — and most asthma patients need a new inhaler every month.
The good news: there are multiple ways to bring that cost down significantly. This guide covers every savings option available in 2026, from free discount cards to patient assistance programs for those who qualify.
Here's what you can expect to pay at the pharmacy counter without any insurance or discounts:
Prices vary significantly by pharmacy. A difference of $30-$50 between pharmacies for the same medication is common. That's why it pays to shop around — and the tools below make that easy.
For comparison, brand-name Flovent HFA used to cost $250-$350 per inhaler before it was discontinued. The switch to generic has already saved patients hundreds of dollars per year.
Prescription discount cards are free, available to everyone (insured or not), and can significantly reduce your cost. Here are the most effective options for Fluticasone Propionate:
GoodRx is the most widely used prescription discount platform. Simply search for "Fluticasone Propionate HFA" on goodrx.com or the GoodRx app, enter your zip code, and compare prices at pharmacies near you. GoodRx prices for generic fluticasone propionate inhalers typically range from $40-$90 depending on strength and pharmacy.
SingleCare offers competitive pricing and is accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Kroger. Fluticasone Propionate HFA pricing through SingleCare is often comparable to GoodRx — check both and use whichever is cheaper at your preferred pharmacy.
RxSaver aggregates discount prices from multiple sources, making it easy to compare options. They frequently show prices for fluticasone propionate in the $45-$85 range.
Optum Perks offers free discount cards with no registration required. Prices are competitive for generic inhalers and the card is accepted at most major pharmacy chains.
BuzzRx is another free discount card option that can offer savings on Fluticasone Propionate. Their prices are often in the same range as GoodRx and SingleCare.
Pro tip: Discount card prices change frequently. Check 2-3 cards before each refill to find the current best price. You can switch between cards each month — there's no commitment.
You generally cannot use a discount card and insurance on the same prescription fill. However, there are situations where a discount card may be cheaper than your insurance copay — especially if you have a high-deductible plan or your insurance places fluticasone propionate on a higher copay tier. Always compare your insurance copay to the discount card price and use whichever is lower. Your pharmacist can run the prescription both ways to check.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and can't afford your medication even with discount cards, patient assistance programs (PAPs) can provide free or deeply discounted medications:
NeedyMeds maintains a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and other resources. Search for "fluticasone propionate" to find current programs available for inhaler assistance.
RxAssist is another database of patient assistance programs sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and nonprofits. They can help you identify programs you may qualify for based on your income and insurance status.
Many states offer their own prescription assistance programs for residents who meet income criteria. These programs are particularly valuable for seniors and individuals who fall into coverage gaps. Check your state's health department website for available programs.
Organizations like the HealthWell Foundation, Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation, and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) occasionally offer grants to help patients afford respiratory medications. Eligibility varies by income level and insurance status.
Don't assume all pharmacies charge the same price. Prices for the same generic inhaler can vary by $30-$60 between pharmacies in the same zip code. Use Medfinder and discount card websites to compare before you fill.
In general:
If you use your inhaler every day (as most asthma patients do), a 90-day supply is almost always cheaper per inhaler than buying monthly. Many insurance plans offer 90-day supplies at a reduced copay through mail-order pharmacies. Even without insurance, buying three inhalers at once through a discount card may offer a better per-unit price.
If you have insurance:
While GSK no longer offers a Flovent-specific savings card (since the brand is discontinued), some authorized generic manufacturers may offer their own savings programs. Ask your pharmacist if any manufacturer discounts are available for the specific generic they stock.
Some large pharmacy chains offer generic medication programs that include certain inhalers. While fluticasone propionate HFA is not typically on $4 generic lists (those programs primarily cover oral medications), it's worth checking with your pharmacy for any available generic inhaler programs.
If none of the options above make your medication affordable, talk to your doctor. They may be able to:

No one should have to choose between breathing and paying bills. The transition from brand Flovent to generic Fluticasone Propionate already cut prices significantly, and the savings options listed above can reduce your cost even further — potentially to under $40 per inhaler with the right discount card and pharmacy.
Take 5 minutes before your next refill to compare prices using GoodRx, SingleCare, and Medfinder. A little shopping can save you hundreds of dollars a year on a medication you need every day.
