   getting off Symbicort / Advair... (Asthma board)

1st March 2004
Quote from wjlost:
Hi,
Yes, it is the steroids I'm worried about, and my asthma does stem from allergies (mostly to dust and dust mites). I'm not sure Singulair is available here (I'm in Israel), I'll research it.
thanks for the response!


Maybe Accolate (zafirlukast) is available where you are? It does the same thing as Singulair, just with a different name.

Hi, all. Have used both Singulair and Accolate but had no where near the response I've had with the Advair. It's the only thing I'm using now and haven't had to use my rescue inhaler in about 2 months. Before the Advair I was using it a couple times daily. If something's working well and you have no side effects, why stop? cg
