Average cost can be as high as $13,500 per year for a severe, poorly -controlled asthmatic. Many prescriptions that doctors write are not filled. If you don't have your prescription filled, tell your doctor, so your medical record is accu- rate. It could also have an effect on your doctor's planning of future treatment.
