Common questions
- Is Albuterol sulfate in shortage right now?

- What does Albuterol sulfate cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.2201 per mL, based on the most recent CMS NADAC survey of actual acquisition costs. That is what the pharmacy pays for the drug itself — not the cash price, and not what an insurer is billed.
