In addition to Wixela inhub, there is also another generic Advair, called by the name of the drug, fluticasone proprionate. The price of each is the same with a GoodRx coupon. Before generic Advair or Wixela were available, Glaxo Smith Kline, the maker of Advair, came out with Breo, which is similar, but contains fluticasone furoate and vilanterol. There is now also a generic form of Breo. I have been taking Breo every day for some time, but I'm not sure that I need it. It is frustrating that the insurance companies and pharmaceuticals play games with drug prices. My Medicare Part D, for example, covers both Advair and Breo at tier 3, with a $47 copay, but does not cover any of the generics, including Wixela. The generic Breo is much more expensive with a GoodRx coupon than either generic Advair or Wixela. Donna T

You can petition your Medicare Part D provider to add the generics to their Formulary (what the official list of covered drugs and the tiers they fall into is called.) Contact your Part D provider patient services to find out how to do it. These generics are so new, they probably didn't make it onto the 2023 formularies.
