Avatar f tn Hey everyone new here...question has anyone taken dulera for asthma problems during pregnancy...my doctor is informing me that I need not to go off of it because if I'm not getting oxygen my baby isn't...I've taken advair during pregnancy but not dulera anyone ever taken it and have a healthy baby?
Avatar n tn thank you for the feedback. I have not taken prednisone at all, my brother went off Advair a few months back so when this bruising became so pronounced it was the first thing I thought of. I am going to get the blood work done but am also going to talk to my asthma doctor about getting off the Advair.
Avatar m tn coughing phlegm from lungs for the past six months, have taken antibiotics with no results, did take predrisone together with SPIRIVA 18 mcg and ADVAIR 500/50 for the past month. Still coughing up phlegm and have limited lung capacity. Any suggestions comments.
Avatar n tn After consulting my asthma doc they decided to give me a course of steroids to nip the attack in the bud. I started prednisone yesterday (30mg) and then developped a bad cold (which is probably why my asthma was flairing since I was coming down with a cold). I am hacking a lung here, have blown my nose through one box of Klenex already! Is the prednisone going to prolong this cold? Or will it help my lung heal up faster? I was lucky when I took steroids in the past I never had a cold!
Avatar n tn (a first for me) and have been having more frequent asthma exacerbations requiring longer regimens of prednisone (my worst enemy...bone loss). I am continually on asthma meds to keep things at bay (advair 500/50, spiriva, asmanex, xoponex, etc.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with asthma a year ago and have been treated with Advair, Singulair and Albuterol as needed. I have been under good control until I was recently diagnosed with an eye conditon called central serous retinopathy. I was told by the retinal specialist that I can take no form of prednisone unless it is a life threatening issue because it could worsen the eye condition. Now I am having problems with my asthma since I have been off the Advair.Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I have interstitial phneumonia since 1973 and have been on advair 500 since then I noticed lately that I am losing my voice and my pharmacist thought it was due to prolonged use of advair I also have trouble with pain in my legs and feet my toes turn up and I feel that if I try to straighten them out they would break very painful
Avatar n tn I have read that people with asthma frequently have lower than normal levels of gastric hydrochloric acid, which is of course important for proper digestion. Supplementation with betaine hydrochloride, along with magnesium, B6 and B12 has helped many asthma sufferers. As always, I recommend seeing a good nutritionist. Many things, such as Quercetin with Bromelain enzyme, plus Vitamin C,, are antihistaminic, and help stabilize cells to stop inflammation. B vitamin injections are also helpful.
1625877 tn?1299344991 I have been on Advair 500/50 for over ten years. Recently, I lost my health insurance and now cannot afford the Advair. Is there such a thing as having withdrawal symptoms from Advair?
Avatar f tn Hi dizzy13, I understand your concern about moonface and Advair. While both steroids are in the same class of steroids, cortiscosteroids, the dosage in Advair is DRASTICALLY smaller than what you would get taking oral corticosteroids. Advair's steroid is some thing like 100 mcg that is a a 1/10,000TH of a gram, where as taking oral steroids you usuallt take at leat 10 mg. The oral dose is roughly 100 times larger than the inhaled does.
Avatar m tn Your pharmacist can answer that with a phone call...quicker than trying to get in touch with your Dr.....who should not have prescribed them if there would be interactions. If it wasn't the same Dr they should have asked what you are currently taking as well as otc items.
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm a 45 year old man, in pretty good shape. Workout every other day 5'11" 185lbs. History of seasonal allergies and sinsus problems. No history of Asthma. In November 2015, I had a really bad allergic reaction to a coworkers perfume and had a very difficult time recovering from it. In February 2016, my doctor prescribed Advair 250/50, once a day and Singulair 10mg at bedtime.
Avatar f tn Hi huni2, I have asthma too. My doctor prescribed two types of inhalers for me. One of the medications is called Pulmicort. This medication I use once is the morning and once at night. The other medication is called Bricanyl Turburhaler. Some people also call it a " puffer" or an " inhaler". The Bricanyl I am instructed to use as needed, not every day. I can understand why you are hesitant or scared to take prednisone.
Avatar f tn so after my discharge at hosp my treatments were breathing machine with 2 medications in it...high doses of steroids(prednisone) for weeks..inhaler and advair. shortly after i went off the steroids i felt great. so i was just using my puff inhaler and advair. then a couple weeks later i find out i am pregnant so i stop the advair (category c ). i know stupid. now i am about 22 weeks pregnant and my athsma had been horrible using puff inhaler 3-4 times a day.
Avatar n tn It isn't recommended you stay on prednisone for extended periods of time unless you have to, but that's how it kind of is for most asthma steroids. I haven't heard of having to take calcium supplements while taking the medication, that's a first. I would probably take the steroid as long as the doctor says and if it helps, it helps. I've taken it without issue and remember it helping. What's your regular medication?
Avatar m tn as my father has taken prednisone in the past and he too is asthmatic, as I am also. Steroid inhalers work wonders (Advair, Symbicort just to name a couple),, and my father is 62 also, and he has been doing a breathing treatment daily for years and years.. I really think your father needs to see another doctor and get another opinion and maybe a new treatment regimene started. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn I've tried bronchodilators like dulera/advair, prednisone even but only prednisone seems to help my sleep. I started allergy shots, is this going to help my sleep breathing problems?
Avatar n tn I am using advair for my asthma and it seems to help with those symptoms and I also have a rescue inhaler Flovent. But i do clean my advair diskus before and after each use. I dont have any infections in my mouth or lung i just have the white mucus and it has only been happening for two months and I have been using the advair about a year now. I heard from someone that the white mucus could be from allergies...is that true?
Avatar f tn he was on Flovent for a couple years then it stopped working and he was in and out of the ER with asthma attacks and on and off prednisone, 60 mgs for weeks at a time. the best way the dr could describe what happened was by explaining that he developed a tolerance to his Flovent and he was switched to a different inhaled preventative inhaler. He was on Asmanex or a couple years and is now on Advair. He's been on Advair for three years and it seems to be doing the trick.
689327 tn?1240229164 ok, man i have asthma too well, i quit smoking a few yrs ago so now my lungs are good but prednisone made me nutz has your doctor given you other options such has zopenex or pulmicord these are mild steriods and if you use them in your nebulizer, and slowly taper off the prednisone your body will have a little help what dose do you take, how many a day?
437079 tn?1222438840 Hopefully those PFT's get better with the Advair and prednisone, maybe the doc is thinking that there is inflammation going on. That is just a guess though. I am keeping you in my prayers. How is the O2 coming along?
178698 tn?1228774338 Hi Yvette, I had a pretty severe asthma attack when I was 24 weeks. I had to go to the emergency room at 1:00 am and they gave me oxygen and prvental as well as Prednisone ( serious steroid). I stayed on prednisone for two weeks then I went on advair until my DD was born. She was born very strong and healthy and she, unlike me, has no allergies so far at almost 4 year old. I was very worried about my baby and the prednisone, but they needed to get me and keep me breathing.
959034 tn?1253671476 I take Prednisone, Symbicort, and Theo-Dur all daily. I use my ProAir only as needed. Anyone have any suggestions?
1425157 tn?1311651679 i got bronchitis and the doc first put me on abuterol and it knocked my heart for a loop and then he put me on advair and it did the same thing so we just stopped it....they are obviously loaded w. steroids and we all know how great that is for all of us....i could call the doc and ask him/her if there is anything out there on the market that they can prescribe to you to keep your bronchials open w. no side effects of the adrenaline rushes....
Avatar m tn That might depend on what dosage you are on. The lower dosage shouldn't show up at all while the highest dose may show up with trace amounts. At any of the dosages the amount of steroid you are getting is so small and the medicine goes directly where it is needed that very little if any can make it into your blood streem. I assume you are wanting to know for sports reasons, there would be absolutely no issue with Advair on an employment test. Asthma steroids are corticosteroids.
