for around $75. Over the years it kept going up even though the inhaler hadn't changed until it was close to $300. I did find it much cheaper through an online Canadian company a few years ago. The current price is outrageous.

I hate the powder inhalers as well. I often have a really bad reaction to them and it isn't just the outrageous cost.
