Read this ALL please& Than Answer:
Rarely,serious(sometimes fatal) asthma-related breathing problems have occurred with the use of long-acting inhaled beta agonists(e.g.,salmeterol)… product contains salmeterol in combination with fluticasone(a corticosteriod)It is not known if adding corticosteriod changes this risk.Therefore patients with asthma,this drug should only be prescribed when one long-term medication(e.g. inhaled corticosteriods)does not control breathing problems or when more than one long- term medication is clearly needed to control breathing problems.Before using this medication, it is important to learn how to use it properly.Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with this medication with your doctor.
What ALL does it mean???
I’m so worried about taking it :*( :*( :*(
A: Don’t worry about it. I have been taking that discus for almost 3 years now, twice a day, everyday. What it means is that there is a slight risk because it is a steroid, but it is quite safe. The only thing you do NEED to do is rinse your mouth out after using it, because the powder you inhale could cause thrush (a mouth infection). Don’t worry, it is great and has really helped my asthma a lot! Good luck to you!

I’m so worried about taking it but I was prescribed it.
A: It basically means that not everyone can use this medication. Some people may have an allergic reaction to one of the ingrediants. Some people may find the drug does not help their asthma.
There are similar (or even more horrifying) warnings on every drug made.
What’s more important with advair (which I’ve taken for years) is that you shake it well, hold it level, breathe in, do NOT breathe out into the canister, and rinse your mouth afterwards.
Q: For People Who Are On ADVAIR DISKUS?
Hi,
(1.) Have u been on any other prevetive asthma attack medince before u went on Advair???
(2.) If so what???
(3.) And did u talk to your doctor about this :
ADVAIR contains salmeterol. In patients with asthma, medicines like salmeterol may increase the chance of asthma-related death. So ADVAIR is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on another controller medicine.
(4.) If so what did he or she say about it???
I’m afraid to take it because of that but my doctor really wants me to.I wasn’t tested for asthma but I took prednoise pills for it & it helped so my doctor said thats what I have.
(5.) Did u get a test done to see if u had asthma???
(6.) What are ALL your asthma symptoms???
(7.) What inhaler do u use for asthma???
Please reply soon.
Thanks
A: 1, 2. Yes, I am on the pill Singulair. I know I was on some kind of steroid inhaler before, but the name escapes me.
3, 4 Yes, and technically I shouldn’t answer this question because I *used to* be on Advair. It didn’t do much for me, and because of the hypothetical risks, and cost, we dropped it. My Brother The Doctor (family practice) only recommends Advair if other stuff doesn’t work.
5. There is no real test for asthma. If someone has the symptoms, you treat it like asthma, if you get better, Bingo!
6. Shortness of breath and wheezing, usually induced by: (a) exercise and (b) certain allergies (dust, pollen, something blooming every spring).
It can progress to a persistent (like for months) cough, when that gets bad I can’t sleep at night unless propped up.
The symptoms get worse when I lie down, better with warm, moist air.
Since I monitor myself, I’ve never had to have a full fledged attack, where I couldn’t breath and have to get taken to the hospital.
7. I have Albuterol for treating the symptoms/when things get bad. I take Singular daily as prevention. As a side note, I also drink lots of water when I am symptomatic. It seems to help loosen things up in my chest.
Also – my pulmonologist said to avoid cough suppressants whenever possible. He said they just make it harder to get the stuff out of your lungs (my simplification). I do take expectorant when I’m coughing, it does help.
There is a lot of information on how to live well with your asthma, the National Institute of Health link below could be a good starting point.

Please Answer ALL 5 Questions.
Everyone!!!
A: 1) Salmeterol (Serevent) is not a rescue medication. Because it takes about a half hour to take effect, if you use Salmeterol for an asthma attack, it won’t work like an Albuterol inhaler would. When you’re having an asthma attack, never take Advair to treat it. Use your rescue inhaler. Inhaled steroid, like the Flovent in Advair, is also not a rescue medication.
2) What this means is that Salmeterol is not for use as a rescue medication. If someone was to use it like that, it might not work fast enough to do anything about an asthma attack. Therefore, taking Salmeterol for an asthma attack is almost as bad as doing nothing about it. Using your rescue inhaler is recommended.
3) If you took Advair to treat an asthma attack, you might not get relief from it.
4) Bronchodilators (like Serevent and Albuterol) do have a potential side effect of bronchoconstriction/bronchospasm. In my experience, I haven’t seen it happen yet. Sometimes a stronger bronchodilator might be needed, if Albuterol isn’t strong enough for rescue. Xopenex is often used in that situation. If you knew that your symptoms would worsen when using a medication, logically I would not use it. Getting a doctor’s appointment and asking about switching to something else is a good idea if that happens.
5) If you take your medication and nothing happens, that’s a good sign that your asthma is getting worse or your medication is losing effect (it happens rarely). Generally, I think that worsening of breathing and asthma attacks are similar enough to warrant the same treatment.
I was on Advair 500/50 for a few months. I found that it was safe and effective. One thing I noticed was that I had little spots of blood on tissues when I blew my nose. It was a bit weird, but actually is a side effect.
When taking an inhaled steroid, it’s extremely important to gargle/rinse your mouth after you take it, then spit the water out. I’ve seen some patients I treated swallow the water after rinsing and I did it too, for a short time. My stomach was upset by this. I don’t recommend swallowing the rinse water.
Not doing this can lead to thrust (fungus on your tongue) developing. It’s something that you can also combat by brushing your tongue and using mouth watch.
It sounds like you’ve been reading the product manuscript or the information form that came from your pharmacy. Good job! Informed patients are a good thing. What you need to understand about the information you were provided with is that severe side effects are rare or happen when the medication is not used properly. I would keep in mind what the side effects are, so that you will know if it’s related to what you’re experiencing.
An alternative to Advair is Symbicort. It comes in a variety of strengths, just as Advair does. The advantage to Symbicort is that it has been approved (in Canada and Europe, I don’t know about the US) for use as a rescue inhaler too. In effect, all you would be using is Symbicort. There have been studies showing that the Pulmicort (inhaled steroid) in Symbicort helps to reduce the severity of an asthma attack over time. This happens because, the patient takes their Symbicort for an asthma attack, then is fine. The dose of inhaled steroid they just took helps prevent further asthma attacks. I like the idea of it. I feel that Symbicort as a long-acting controller and as a rescue inhaler will revolutionize asthma treatment like Advair did when it came out. There is a possibility that asthmatics might only need one inhaler for all purposes. That’s a lot simpler than knowing how to use an Advair diskus and an Albuterol inhaler. Less patient education is then required for them to be able to use their devices properly. Advair is great though, too. I’m not discounting it at all. It just isn’t meant to be used during an asthma attack under any circumstances.

A: I suppose if you had a medicine triggered asthma attack, it would probably happen right after you inhaled the medicine.I’m pretty sure you have to be allergic to the medicine for it to trigger an asthma attack, so that would mean, you would probably notice an allergic reaction(i.e. the asthma attack) within the first few uses. So that means, if you’ve been using the medicine for a while, chances are you are probably not going to have an attack because of the medicine. Regardless, if you do have an really bad asthma attack, you can probably discuss with your doctor what triggered it.
Q: Mr. Usher takes the following regimen for his asthma?
Advair 250/50 1 puff bid. what should Mr. Usher do after taking his dose of Advair? how much fluticasone and salmeterol would Mr. Usher receive in 1 month? which 2 brand name drugs does Advair Diskus replace?
A: After taking his dose of Advair, he should be sure to rinse his mouth out, as Advair can cause thrush (a superficial infection of the skin and mucous membranes in the mouth). It is a yeast infection. It can cause inflammation and discomfort.
How much medication he receives in one month depends on the number of days that month: 56 inhalations in February (58 if it is a leap year), 30 inhalations in months with 30 days, and 62 inhalations during the 31 day months.
The two brand name medications the Advair Diskus replaces are Flovent and Serevent.
I hope this answer was helpful!

Does it mean if your asthma gets wroser when on that medince that it can cause death from that??
What ALL does it mean???
I’m worried about taking it but was prescribed it.
A: They don’t know what causes it for sure but when you take this drug your chances of having a life threatening asthma attack are much higher. I have tried ADVAIR and I don’t like it, I will stick to my albuterol inhaler even it I have to use it more often. You may have a choice, tell your doctor you would prefer not to take this medication. Albuterol + inhaled steroid might be just as good for you.

A: First of all it says RARELY, meaning the chances of this happening to you are HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
Second of all it is a little hard to draw many conclusion from this one sentence of information on that drug that you have provide
BUT
I would say it means that just IN CASE you were to get breathing problems, they would be asthma-related. I think they are just saying that so you know that if you get breathing problems you don’t freak out or anything and think you are like dying. You will know it is from the medicine, you will discontinue the said medication and go see your doctor.
Also I am guessing you will see whether or not this medicine is going to give you a bad reaction within the first couple days of taking it.
Also I would like to note that almost ANY pharmaceutical you are going to take has its risks and side effects. Your doctor does not usually tell you about the scary ones, because the really weird or scary ones are usually very rare.
