Yes, there are less expensive inhaled corticosteroids that are FDA-approved for asthma maintenance treatment, including a number of generic medications. Cheaper alternatives include generic fluticasone, beclomethasone, mometasone, and budesonide. Brand-name versions of these corticosteroids, such as Qvar or Pulmicort, cost about the same as Alvesco.
If these have been tried, ask a healthcare professional for medical advice about generic combination inhalers that contain a corticosteroid and a long-acting beta agonist bronchodilator. Some are lower in price than Alvesco. Many steroid or combination inhalers are available as either HFA inhalers or powder inhalers.
