Airsupra (albuterol/budesonide) is a prescription metered-dose rescue inhaler for adults 18 years and older. It is the first and only rescue inhaler combining a fast-acting bronchodilator (albuterol) with an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (budesonide). Each inhaler contains 120 inhalations (90 mcg albuterol / 80 mcg budesonide per actuation). Standard dose: 2 puffs as needed, maximum 12 puffs per 24 hours.
How It Works:
During an asthma attack, airway muscles tighten AND airway lining becomes inflamed and swollen. Traditional rescue inhalers only address muscle tightening. Airsupra solves both: albuterol quickly relaxes airway smooth muscles for immediate relief, while budesonide (inhaled corticosteroid) is delivered directly to inflamed airway tissue to reduce swelling and inflammatory signals. Clinical trials have shown reduced risk of severe asthma exacerbations.
Form and Use:
Metered-dose inhaler, 120 inhalations per canister. Used as needed, 2 puffs per use, up to 12 puffs/day maximum. Not a maintenance inhaler — used alongside your daily controller medication.
Generic Availability:
As of April 2026, no generic Airsupra is available. It is a first-in-class combination rescue inhaler under patent protection. No timeline for generic competition has been established. Generic albuterol-only rescue inhalers cost $25–$90 but lack the anti-inflammatory budesonide component.
Warnings:
Not for maintenance treatment. Do not stop or change other asthma medicines without consulting your doctor. Seek emergency care if breathing worsens, if you need Airsupra more than usual, or if it doesn’t work as well.
A regular albuterol inhaler only opens airways by relaxing muscles. Airsupra does this too, but also delivers budesonide — an anti-inflammatory steroid — directly to inflamed airways with every puff. This dual action treats both symptom and cause, reducing risk of severe asthma attacks.
No. Airsupra is a rescue inhaler for as-needed use. Continue your daily maintenance inhaler as prescribed. Airsupra is used in addition to — not instead of — your maintenance therapy.
Each inhaler contains 120 inhalations (60 doses at 2 puffs per use). Depending on how often you need rescue treatment, one inhaler may last weeks to several months. Patients with well-controlled asthma may find one inhaler lasts 2 to 3 months.
Generic albuterol ($25–$90) is well-established with multiple manufacturers. Airsupra is a brand-name, first-in-class combination product with no generic competition and combines two active ingredients. The higher price reflects the added clinical benefit of the budesonide anti-inflammatory component.
