Re: Question about Advair 125 Salmeterol xinafoate / fluticasone propionate...

[Guest guest]

Advair is NOT a fast acting inhaler like albuterol is.

So you can't take the advair when you have an attack, though I think the

salmeterol kicks in like 30 min or an hour later?? I can look it up and find

out.

anyone??

ADVAIR IS NOT A RESCUE MEDICATION. Sorry for the caps but I can't

stress this enough. Advair has a black box waring because people

have died trying to use Advair as a fast acting bronchodilator.

Advair is a controller medication and should be taken everyday to

prevent asthma attacks. If you have an attack you need to take the

fast acting inhaler like albuterol.

Why did my doctor say it would replace both and even add that a lot of

people like Advair because it saves them from carrying both inhalers

around?? I can't understand why he said that if it's not true; if I

still need Albuterol!

sounds like you have a doctor to FIRE

I have a friend also that takes albuterol, asked her doctor about it and he

told her it was the same thing so.....

Well, I just made the switch to Advair. We'll see what it does. It

tates a little different and cost a whole lot more than Flovent.

Make sure you are rinsing your mouth out very well after every use of

Advair. It can cause thrush if you don't (so I have been told).

If inhaled asthma medications whitens the tongue and cause yeast

infections can it also cause the throat and the tubes going to the

lungs to whiten?
