In Australia you buy em over the counter, no doctor required. So $0 for doctor and they cost $10 (~$7 USD).

Prescription requirements for ordinary inhalers is a time-wasting money-making scam run by doctors.

I pay a couple thousand a year in medicare levy and I rarely see the doctor and don't use regular medication. Someone is fitting the doctors bill.
