- Afraid to begin Advair 22nd May 2004
... Well, to make a long story short my doc prescribed me Advair . I have never been on a long term asthma medicine ... help with the allergy problems. My doctor said the Advair should help me so much where I won't need to take ... to me at least 2-3 times a year. I don't know if Advair would help with that and make it stay out of my chest ... , do you? Also, I read the insert to Advair and what is this about all of the asthma related deaths ... for certain people who begin Advair ? It doesn't sound too encouraging! I have two children ... I will be okay. Should I try something instead of Advair like singulair? Something else? BTW, they prescribed ... rather take your albuterol several times a day, or Advair twice a day and albuterol once in a while?
By ... related deaths are related to the salmeterol in the Advair ...but they're very rare. I'd say like 1-2% of the ... population experiences a severe episode of asthma due to Advair .
I'd say try the Advair first before asking about ... Most people are satisfied with the results of the Advair . It takes about two weeks to reach it's full potential ... Singulair as your second choice if you don't like Advair .
Some people say Advair helps with colds turning...
... medication. Albuterol is generally known as a rescue med. Advair contains two drugs - a long acting form of albuterol ... inhaled steroid is much safer than oral prednisone. Advair comes in three doses and most folks can take the lowest ... dose as a maintenance med. Advair is VERY effective and well tolerated by most people ... are a lot of very allergic asthmatics that take both Advair and Singulair.
Singulair does not work for some ... you need to follow your doc's instructions and try advair ....
... blessings! Anyway, I think you will be very pleased with Advair . The only side affect I have had is a little raspy ... than twice a week, that is too much. Don't worry, Advair works great and is simple to use.
