calNgary Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 There is no set cost, it depends on the drug /medication. I am sure someone will be along soon who uses inhalers and will know the figure. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi folks. Can anyone tell me the cost of a prescription in Oz, please?! My husband has ventolin inhalers. Cheers! I use ventolin. You can buy them over the counter without a prescription for about $9.80 each. But it is better to have a prescription as then you get 2 for about $9.80. If you have a healthcare card it should come down to about $5.40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyBlueMountains Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks people. How do you find out the cost of various medications then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You could maybe have a look at somewhere like Chemist Warehouse or home pharmacy on line to get a guideline. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurls Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Asmol is slightly cheaper version of Salbutamol than Ventolin (which is a brand name). How often does he use it? If you use your reliever medication more than 2 times in a week, guidelines recommend having a review with your Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only used it once every couple of weeks, unless he's in a room where there are cats, in which case he's on it every ten minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Blimey, I need to find somewhere cheaper than. I paid $30 or so last time I got a repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/prescriptions My local pharmacy price matches though. If you tell them you can get it cheaper in Chemist Warehouse, they look it up and then give you for the same cost, worth asking!
