serevent

Avatar n tn Recently, I had a bad virus and got bronchitis, its haning around pretty good (since October 2008). I take Serevent (it works for me) but due to the virus I have developed several nodules throughout my lungs and having difficulty breathing. My doctor gave me Advair. I am concerned. I take Azor for high blood pressure, I also have been exposed to TB (1987 took INH and B6 six months) I also have lactose intolerance, I take enzyme for. Should I take this medicine?
312330 tn?1245176752 I was on it for over a year and then they switched my meds around to what they are currently because I was still having alot of problems with my symptoms...Flovent, serevent (essentially advair), singulair, zithromax and xopenex ( I am on several others but these are specifically for my asthmatic problems). Some people do very well on Theo...I hope that it works out for you.
Avatar n tn Yes, there are. Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) is one and Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) another. Each is a bronchodilator and capable of giving good relief of shortness of breath.
Avatar m tn Orlistat has been a big hit for both Glaxo and Roche, which reported $123 million and $472 million in sales of the drug last year, respectively. A Glaxo representative denied that the drug was responsible for the cases of liver damage, noting that the overweight are already at risk for liver disorders.
Avatar n tn do not think think there is a current therapy for low platelets but Glaxo Smith Kline has a drug called eltrombopag in trials and they just recieved a fast track review status from the FDA. Glaxo may be able to give better guidance on a rough time estimate for when it may be available and you could discuss it with your doctor and decide whether to wait or operate. There are a number of people on this site with low platelets. How low are your numbers?
Avatar f tn Flovent is a corticosteroid for inflammation and serevent is a long acting bronchodialator. Serevent is the drug that can interfere with heart rhythm. When I started having symptoms in April, I stopped using Advair and now I only use Flovent. When I saw my pulmonologist I told him that I was only taking flovent (he had given me a prescription for both to use when my asthma got really bad.) He agreed with my decision.
Avatar n tn I am using combivent(4x a day ) and serevent diskus 50mcg 2x for my moderate severe copd, I have just started Flovent 50mcg inhaler. Is this OK or should I cutdown on the combivent ?
Avatar m tn weak results compared to glaxo drug
Avatar f tn If you do need a LABA as well, Serevent comes as a stand alone ICS. An LABA should always be used lin combinationwith ICS by asthmatics wheter in a combination med or as two stand alone meds. I hope that helps you. God bless.
Avatar m tn A newer agent called Anoro by Glaxo seems to help even though it is more of a COPD adjunct medicine. Do some homework on the new IL-5 inhibitors for asthma that should hit the market in the next year or two. Both are finishing Phase III trails (one by Teva and one by Glaxo) and will likely be a great step forward in lessening your overall asthma/fungal problems. You might also want to do some homework on allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM).
Avatar m tn There are reliever inhalers which work for up to 12 hours after taking each dose. They include salmeterol (brand name Serevent) and formoterol (brand name Atimos). Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
746512 tn?1388807580 Might look into other long-acting beta agonists. Serevent is the LABA that is in Advair (Formoterol is available as Foradil. Salmeterol is the LABA in Advair). It's basically Flovent and Serevent in one Discus or inhaler. Symbicort is another combination steroid/LABA (Pulmicort + Formoterol). I don't know if any combination of those options would be better from a price perspective. Haven't heard of muscle cramps or menstrual effects with Pulmicort.
Avatar n tn It is also possible that some of the symptoms you describe, such as headache, shakes, racing heart, were caused by the other ingredient in Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) called Serevent® (salmeterol). Many of the symptoms you describe occur with panic attacks and are relieved by leading a healthy life style. If that alone doesn't control the panic attacks, there is good, effective medicine for treatment of panic and you should request it from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Has anybody really benefited from natural herbs? I dont want to be a test subject anymore having done that twice with glaxo smith kline. I am 49 years old and feel like I´ve aged 20 in the last 2. I.
Avatar n tn The inhaled steroid Flovent® (fluticasone propionate) has a half life of around 5 hours, so it would be totally out of your system in a few days. The inhaled long-acting bronchodilator Serevent® (salmeterol) has a similar half life, so it would be totally out of your system after 5 days. When steroid side effects occur, they may linger for weeks or even months after the medicine has been stopped.
Avatar n tn This would include a long-acting bronchodilator, such as Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate), Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder) or Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) along with an inhaled steroid. Another potentially helpful, oral medicine is called theophylline. Your doctor may also want to prescribe this. You should have your blood oxygen level checked, in case it is low and you would need supplemental oxygen.
1435203 tn?1307111807 I am on constant watch on the dev't of this drug. With the support of Gilead and Glaxo on this study, it's not far that this drug probably is the long waited cure for HepB patients.
Avatar f tn your results are so good that it makes no difference to yor liver if you have it or not and you dont need antiviral, hbv cure is on trial now (see post below about glaxo), you may try to get on that trial or wait until is finished and et cured.
Avatar f tn s dr in indonesia abt the brand he gave in 2months vaccine for DTP and Hib to my son he said GLAXO SMITH KLINE INFANRIX HIB. In india i asked for this brand they said we can give that as well. In india they give PENTAXIM for DTP-HIB combined vaccine.
Avatar n tn There has been investigations and lawsuits. The following is a recent development: On Feb. 22nd, 2010, the United States Senate finance committee condemned GlaxoSmithKline's practices as deceptive and concluded that the drug company knew that the drug had the potential for serious and harmful effects on the human heart.
Avatar m tn When I developed gynecomastia (which is minor and I ignore) I lowered the dose of AVODART to one twice a week which is 8/month (from 15/month). AVODART has a long half life. Will 8/month still work? I wrote to GLaxo who make Avodart and they said what you said "ask your physician". My physician is very busy and I don't want to waste his time. My next appointment is in June and I will ask at that time if I don't have an answer by then.
Avatar m tn glaxo GSK3228836 is obviously the first hbv cure on large trials now available, those having 3logs hbsag and under long term nucs get cured fast by 4weeks drug use without any major side effects this time the drug will be used for 48weeks so much more cure rates and maybe side effects too.
Avatar f tn Ok, I was confused. I stared on Serevent not Singulair, I have both and keep trying to figure out what is the safest and best line of action for me. The cortosone has been my best friend at keeping the lungs cleared of secreations (sp?). Serevent has some real health issues that concern me, but so far it has been very helpful for me. That is interesting to note that Singulair can cause depression. I wonder if that would be a good choice for me along with the cortosone?
Avatar f tn This drug should only be taken if all else has failed. It has a stronger affinity for choline and serotonin receptors than other drugs and is therefore very very hard to stop taking, and because it's so strong if you do have to stop taking it for any reason other drugs might then now work. That's common with this drug. The manufacturer, Glaxo-Smith-Kline has been sued to the gills over this drug and the victims are everywhere.
Avatar n tn You and he/she will have to resort to other preparations, to include a different inhaled steroid, such as Flovent® HFA Inhalation Aerosol (fluticasone propionate), either alone or in combination with a long-acting bronchodilator, like Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) or Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder), such a combination being either Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) Inhalation Aerosol or Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol fumarat
