User Reviews for Fluticasone/salmeterol

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): In 3 days Advair made me sick. I had heartburn, which I have never had. I thought I was having a heart attack until I read some internet posts confirming that heartburn is a side effect of Advair. Had trouble getting food down, it seems to be getting stuck and had chest constriction and GERD. I am discontinuing the medication pending a chat with the doctor.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): My lungs cleared up immediately after my first dose. No more hacking up sputum or rattling, squeaky lungs!

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): My daughter went on Advair when she was 10 to control exercise and seasonal allergy induced asthma. She developed severe stomach aches (daily) and became lactose intolerant after several months. After allergy season she was taken off the Advair. She went to a gastroenterologist for almost a year to clear up the stomach aches. She did not use Advair during that time. When the stomach problem was cleared up the lactose intolerance disappeared as well. The next allergy season she was put on Advair and almost immediately developed stomach aches and lactose intolerance. She stopped using the Advair and the stomach issues and lactose intolerance disappeared. The doctors find no correlation......?

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): After years of asthma I actually have thrown away full expired bottles of my fast acting inhaler because I DON'T NEED THEM NOW THAT I HAVE ADVAIR. I tried to stop it once and noticed the difference, one dose first thing in the morning and I am good for the whole day.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): Advair Diskus completly helped the weezing. I have a funny taste in my mouth and have terrible heartburn.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): Before Advair I had to go to the hospital many times because my asthma would become very severe. Since I have been using Advair I have not been to the hospital in 3 years. My asthma has become very mild and I have never felt better. I have no side effects.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): I have use Advair 500/50 for a little over three years. It has helped control the Asthma, but there are some side effects. I don't have much taste sensation anymore, my throat feels raw, and I cough from the throat which I don't remember doing before, and I lose my voice. This dosage is too much after awhile, I get the shakes and feel week, sometimes have terrible headaches. I have tried using 500/50 in the mornings and 250/50 at night. That is only good for a short while. I need something between these two.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): If Advair is causing side effects in your mouth and throat, TRY RINSING AND GARGLING WITH SALT WATER immediately after using Advair. This simple process has made Advair tolerable. And like my doctor says, "You must breathe".

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): No doubt that Advair was effective at clearing up my lungs so that I could breath (most important). However, I did have the noted side effect of nausea... so as far as eating is concerned, I dont enjoy eating (cant taste anything) while I am on this medication

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): I have used this inhaler for several years (250 mg) and I think it is great.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): I have been using Advair for about 5 years. When I first noticed my wheezing and coughing, I thought I had a cold, But the doctor said it is bronchial asthma. He started with Prednisone and Advair. I soon felt better I stopped the Prednisone and I am on Advair 250/50 since. Recently I was advised to see a Chiropractor he promised to help take me off all medications and I will be okay. What a mistake? In order for him to do this I had to stop my Advair, because he said he can't fight with it, I must first stop taking it. The end result was that I spent about $400.00 for twice a week visits. I saw no results on the contrary my wheezing came back full force with the tightness of my chest I had to start all over again with the medications.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): As I get older my asthma worsens which I know is not usual but in my case it is. Advair has been a blessing.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): One downside is that it appears to cause coughing at the throat. Overall, breathing is always easier when regularly on Advair.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): I have used Advair for the last two years and have been asthma free since then.

fluticasone/salmeterol: I noticed many people complaining abut a "funny taste" and heart burn. As per the directions, you need to brush your teeth, or rinse your mouth after using the inhaler (it's the same with all inhaled steroids). To avoid nausea, use the inhaler before you go to bed. Hope this helps, always follow the directions of your Dr.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): Advair helped me breathe better for the first 2-3 days. Then my chest would start tightening within an hour of when I was to take it. It seemed that my dependence was growing. Between that and the panic attacks, I've discontinued Advair and gone back to Ventolin HFA.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): After a couple of days using Advair my mouth has become sensitive. I like hot foods but now, just a drop of Tabasco makes my entire mouth burn.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): Advair gave me hypertension.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): It did stop the asthma, but it took some of the color from my teeth. I also gained weight. I'm off of it and back on Intal.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): Haven't had one asthma attack since I've been on this medication and usually I get really bad attacks.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): This was the only medicine that I've tried that has completely controlled my asthma. I can't even remember the last time I experienced an attack. I am able to run for miles without any breathing problems.

Advair HFA (fluticasone/ salmeterol): It works well as a maintenance medicine. I take it morning and night but it doesn't replace your emergency inhaler.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): My doctor switched me to Advair 3 1/2 years ago. My wheezing and coughing has stopped! I have resumed a "normal" living style with exercise and outdoor activities. This is great considering my outdoor lifestyle was my asthma trigger. I have had none of the side effects listed for this product.

Advair HFA (fluticasone/ salmeterol): This is my second experience using Advair inhaler. The first time I used it, it was like a miracle. My asthma disappeared. After using the inhaler for about 1 year, my asthma returned and worsened. I visited a naturopath and was advised to change my diet. I stopped gluten, citrus, soy and dairy foods. Once again, my asthma disappeared for about a year. When it returned to the point that my rescue inhaler was being used too frequently, the Dr. recommended that I return to advair. Once again, it worked. But, here I am three months later and my asthma is worsening. What is one to do?

Advair Diskus (fluticasone/ salmeterol): I have been using Advair for about 4 or 5 months. It has made a big difference in my life. I am not wheezing anymore or tight chested. My voice gets hoarse sometimes, not as bad as when I was on other medications.
