Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for QVAR REDIHALER 40 MCG 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 Qvar Redihaler / Beclomethasone Dipropionate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's GM. Joined on brand name.
Why does this page start at 1 g?
The FDA package description of NDC 59310-0302-40 (“1 INHALER in 1 CARTON (59310-302-40) / 1 CANISTER in 1 INHALER / 120 AEROSOL, METERED in 1 CANISTER”) does not give one amount in g, NADAC’s unit for this product. So the card starts at 1 GM; change it to match your prescription.
