   "Throat closing up from use of Advair or nebulizer?? doc confirms this (Asthma board)

28th October 2005
Advair is a dual inhailer which contains Flovent & Serevent. Do you know if this ingredient is also in Serevent? Is it possible to take something like singulair or Accolate along with Serevent to get similar benifits such as from Advair? Do you rinse your mouth & throat out after using the Advair as recommended? Just wondering if this helps at all.

Hope you find something that works and doesn't cause this for you soon.

Advair contains Fluticasone/Flixotide and Serevent. It could be either that are causing the problem - not necessarily the fluticasone. I would guess that the serevent is the one thats causing you problems, well thats what was causing me problems in the past. Fluticasone is quite gentle. Serevent opens the aireways - its like a long acting ventolin, fluticasone is a steroid that dampens down the reaction. You can mix fluticasone with singulair but you need to use a steroid so they won't put you on serevent and singulair because they do similar thing. Or you could use pulmicort in place of the fluticasone with serevent or singulair. Your dr will be best placed to advise. Hope that helps clarify things.
