Has Qvar Been Discontinued?

QVAR Discontinued- Replaced by QVAR RediHaler
On August 16, 2017, the FDA announced the discontinuation of Teva's QVAR (beclomethasone dipropionate HFA) inhalation aerosol due to business reasons. QVAR is estimated to be available through March 2018.

What can I use instead of Qvar?

Like Qvar, Flovent is only available in brand-name formulations. However, Flovent may be a cheaper alternative to Qvar. Most Medicare and insurance plans will cover a Flovent prescription. Without insurance, the average cash price of Flovent HFA is $347 and the average cash price of Flovent Diskus is around $279.

When is Qvar going generic?

By analyzing the patents and regulatory protections it appears that the earliest date for generic entry will be September 7, 2028. This may change due to patent challenges or generic licensing.
