The spread

4.5× – 4.7× estimated

Medicare paid between 4.5× and 4.7× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Formoterol Fumarate” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

What it is

FORMOTEROL 20 MCG/2 ML NEB VL is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “formoterol fumarate” and “formoterol fumarate dihydrate”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name, under the trade name “Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Solution”.

FDA gives its dosage form as solution and its route as respiratory (inhalation).

FDA lists 11 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Micro Labs Limited.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is beta2-Adrenergic Agonist.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 22 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $1.27 – $1.34 for 1 mL, depending on the NDC ($1.27321 to $1.33557 per ML), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 5, calculated based on package size; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for FORMOTEROL 20 MCG/2 ML NEB VL labelled estimated?
Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Formoterol Fumarate / Formoterol Fumarate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's ML. Joined on generic name.
Why does this page start at 1 mL?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (60 mL, 120 mL, 480 mL). So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.
