Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): I love Advair. It stopped my chronic wheezing and has given me back my energy.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): I question the amount of powder that actually makes it into the lungs, what with the mouth, tongue and throat being wet.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): I have been on Advair Diskus for only 2 days and already I feel like I have much more energy, and I don't wheeze like I used too. Haven't had to have my inhaler in 2 days either. Time will tell lets hope I have found something that works and I can get back to a normal lifestyle.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): I take other medication but after my Doctor prescribed Advair I do have more energy and my breathing is a lot less effortless and in turn a better outlook.

fluticasone/salmeterol: After two weeks of using it I felt much better.I went back to my doctor for a check up and he told me my lungs were sounding better.I am very pleased with it so far. I have been on it for 4 weeks now with no side affect as of yet

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): Used it before, but then had it changed to Symbicort. No way of telling which one is better. I seem to get a lot of head colds and sinus drainage with both. Now my MD is putting me back on Advair 250/50, but I doubt it will be effective at all. I walk 5 miles a day in an hour and 13 minutes. So if my time improves a little, then maybe it does help more than Symbicort did.

fluticasone/salmeterol: This medication is great. This medicine helped me to start breathing again after an exacerbated COPD attack 2 months ago. I was hospitalized for 8 days. I did get a candida infection of my mouth and throat when I first started using this. My Pulmonary Doctor has me using Crest ProHealth mouthwash after each use to prevent oral candida infection.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): I started taking Advair 50/500 about 2 years ago. I must say that I have noticed almost a complete turn around with my breathing problems which is wonderful. However, I am in the emergency room almost half of every month due to severe heartburn, gallbladder attacks, severe stomach, throat and esophagus pain. It is all due to the Advair. Have been on all the breathing medicines and Advair works the best. Just don't know if I can keep dealing with all these side effects.

Advair Diskus (fluticasone / salmeterol): Advair helps me to breathe, bottom line. I rated it an 8 only because of the side effect of heartburn, which can be almost intolerable at times. I can find something to relieve that discomfort! I don't really have much of an appetite (see as a good thing for maintaining blood sugar levels and weight). I am using in conjunction with another once a day inhaler. I feel better and clearer than I have in years!
