"I am on this medication a week now for my COPD/emphysema. I can actually breathe much better than I could on the Flovent Disc. I had a flare-up where no air movement was being made. My lungs are moving normally, almost. I am on prednisone as well. I never smoked, so this is a great medication for me."

Fluticasone / salmeterol "Just started this inhaler. Dr. only put me on it for a week. Then she will change me to another type with no powder. But I love the way I can breathe now. It's amazing to me, I CAN BREATHE."

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 "Been on this 5 days, so far pleased with results, need to work on the price. With every boomer coming along, a large share of this growing market. Hey GSK, you want to own this market?"

Fluticasone / salmeterol "Can't really tell if it is doing any good. It isn't like night and day. If it is helping, the effect is very subtle. Doesn't show any improvement on my oximeter (relative to non-use)."

"It made me feel like climbing the walls! I can use Fluticasone alone, but I had to stop after 4 days because the Salmeterol gave me jitters so badly."
