Common Questions and Answers about Advair birth control

advair

Avatar n tn In my twenties, Serevent started to cause me problems and I had to stop taking it. A few years ago, my asthma got out of control, and my new doctor prescribed me Advair. Every time I took it, it impaird my breathing dramatically. Thank God my doctor changed my medication. I couldn't understand why I reacted so bad to Advair until I learned that Salmeterol was another name for Serevent.
Avatar f tn It was last august that I started taking a birth control called loestrin fe that I was on for a few months. Then suddenly my blood pressure went way up to 160/100 so I stopped taking it and it took 2 weeks for it to come back down to normal range. I was fine for about a month, then my first menstral period off the birth control pills was the day all of these problems with my asthma started, my blood pressure also went way up again starting on that day.
Avatar n tn I had it under control to the point where i didnt need to take advair anymore but recently ive been having the symptoms again, so ive started back taking the advair that was prescribed to me when i first got it. is that ok?
1232362 tn?1333135406 In these conditions, there is too much fluid in the body. Birth control pills, blood pressure medicines, steroids and antidepressants, can lead to swelling also. Try to elevate your legs above your heart while lying down, exercise your legs, wear support stockings and follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid retention and swelling. If it persists, check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care always.
Avatar m tn I was dx a few months back. Take advair twice a day (was taking singulair too, but it gave me a headache) & take aciphex daily for gerd. the aciphex has helped w/ the coughing some, but i still cough a good bit...sometimes to the point of dizziness. If I laugh, I cough. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn oh yeah i agree it wouldn't have anything to do with loss of Muscle control...well hope I was able to help a little.....Good Luck Mac...Peace and love!
209987 tn?1451935465 Hubby would like to know what the difference ( aside from price ) is between advair and symbicort. Advair is $176/month...but he could get symbicort for less than $50/month. Because of the price difference he would like to ask his doctor about changing it. Think his lung specialist would go for that if he asked? Are there any other inhalers that are similar to advair?

Avatar f tn I went away for the weekend and forgot to pack my Advair, is there an over the counter medication I can take if necessary?
746512 tn?1388807580 I'm having a lot of trouble lately with my asthma control now that I've started classes again. I seem to be ultra sensitive now (more than I was last year on campus) of cigarette smoke. I have to walk outside to get to some of classes and if I pass more than one person smoking or get too many wifts in my face, my chest really tightens up and I'm forced to use my rescue inhaler. The problem is this has been an almost daily occurence and I hate taking ventolin that regularly.
Avatar n tn I have the same problem. My doc had me on 250/50 2 times daily. It became a problem for me becuase I am sensitive to medications. I don't like feeling jittery because it freaks me out LOL. I stopped using it and then just Sunday, had an asthma attack. Now I'm using my inhaler and will have to start back on it. THE SOLUTION: My doc understood my concern about Advair. He said to take it once in the morning or afternoon regularly.
Avatar f tn Flovent is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in the airways to help control asthma. Advair is a combination of the same corticosteroid in Flovent (fluticasone) and a bronchodilator called salmeterol. Bronchodilators relax the muscles around the airways to relieve asthma symptoms like wheezing and coughing. So, Flovent is the steroid fluticasone. Advair is a combination salmeterol/fluticasone. Let us know how you are doing and what your doctor is telling you.
Avatar m tn How long can one safely be on Advair? I have been on it for several years. Also, I am wondering if my dry mouth and dry eyes are a result of this medication.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 25 yr old female smoker of 10 yrs who is very active, but i just recently started having werid chest pains. I do see a naturopath and take lots of vitamins and have a gluten and dairy allergy, but because of my asthma i also take Ventalin, Advair and Singular just to keep it under control. As well for the past two weeks i've been taking Diane 35 as a form of birth control so im not sure if that's related to the chest pains.
Avatar f tn I never experienced those symptoms while on Advair and I used Advair for many many years. After reading your comments I am stopping Dulera and going back to Advair, it worked better and I trust it better than Dulera. Another thing I have noticed is the Dulera applicator will fail to deliver the medication, I will have to try it over and over again and in the meant time, the counter of the application continues to count each activation even though it fails to deliver the medication.
757137 tn?1347196453 The FDA has issued a stern warning concerning the use of Advair. Not only can it worsen asthma, but the side effects can be fatal. Other forms of treatment should be sought and, if the product is used at all, it should be for short periods of time. Advair affected my adrenals, harmed my eyes, and worsened my asthma. It caused such serious choking that I feared it would kill me. I stopped taking it last August and am doing fine on natural anti-inflammatories.
Avatar f tn DO I ALSO NEED TO BE TAKING SYMBICORT OR ADVAIR? WHAT CAN I DO TO TRY TO MANAGE MY COPD BESIDES QUIT SMOKING WHICH I HAVE CUT DOWN TO A HALF A PACK A DAY. WHICH IS ALL THAT I CAN ACCOMPLISH NOW. WHAT CAN I BE DOING TO BETTER CONTROL MY BREATHING WITH WHAT I HAVE ON HAND?
1754037 tn?1327886811 Hi has anyone have asthma & taken their asthma medicine while pregnant?? & did your baby come out fine? Someone told me that they knew sum1 & her baby came out with birth defects & she thinks it's cuz her asthma medicine she was taking which was her inhaler. So I'm a lil freaked out about taking my inhaler but I NEED to cuz if I can't breath my baby can't breath. I just don't want to take it to often.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone has experienced or heard of what I call "conversation-induced" asthma? I have seen a bit of information on laughter-induced asthma and suffer from exercise-induced asthma but can't find anything about asthma that comes on from simple talking. I usually begin to feel chest tightness and hoarseness if I am talking for more than 5-10 minutes. I begin producing mucous and albuterol does offer some relief.
Avatar f tn I was rarely sick before this condition and do not want to take medicine chronically if at all possible. I have taken advair (500) for a week and am now on the 250 dose for 4-6 weeks. How can I get rid of this!?!
Avatar n tn During the 2nd half of last winter I had a bad asthma attack , which I got treated with a nebulizer at the clinic and then advair at home for 2 weeks. I am fine during the warm weather months (half of the year), but now I just had an attack this week and I only just closed the windows 2 weeks ago due to cold weather. Went to clinic again for same treatment and I'm alright now.
Avatar n tn with the virus I found my asthma which is usually very under contol became out of control I needed to use my inhalers every 4 hours. I reported this to my dr who gave me advair and advised to take this for 10 days. I was still needing to take the other inhaler as well. Within a few weeks I felt better. I then got another cold. ( I have a three year old in daycare,lol) this time it did not seem to go away with time..
Avatar n tn it seems like advair is making my asthma worse. i started taking advair like 7 month ago and it seemed like for the first few months it was working but i had to become dependant on it everyday or else i would start weezing nonstop. after that my weezing was worst than ever and i started noticing that after i used advair my weezing was much worse. i saw this thread yesterday and now for a day and a half i havent used it and i feel alot better.
