serevent

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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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
Avatar f tn I just wanted to warn all you mommies about a swing. My mother had the fisher price starlight cradle swing and it is very dangerous. It catapulted him out of it. He was hanging out of the swing. It has also caught a women's house on fire. I am warning everyone because recently someone offered it to me and it reminded me of the awful experience. Please be aware. My brother had a Contusion on his brain from the incident.
Avatar n tn t think your post will help, the overdose of nicotine, i was told by my doctor, and some aids instructions have a warning on the instructionsabout smoking while using these aids.
611606 tn?1315517767 I hope you wonderful people will heed this warning and at least talk this over with your Doctors, and/or Home Care Nurses. Here is another useful hint, the less you shave your legs, the lighter and thinner the leg hair becomes.. Seriously, OK Guys, stop laughing, except for the leg shaving part, this Forum Post is for you too!!! Sorry for any spelling mistakes, my eyes are very blurry this Morning, but felt this was too important to not to post it ASAP!!!
176495 tn?1301280412 Wow Jim, that's a womans worst nightmare. Thanks for the warning and how scary that she did came out!!! Here in Chicago, if that happens it's a trick to get the woman to pull over and many times they have a fake police badge and the woman end's up raped. I hope this does not traumatize your daughter to the point where she will be afraid to go out anywhere. She might need counseling. Thanks for the warning Jim...
Avatar f tn **WARNING!!!** I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 10 years ago and have been treated with Synthroid since. I would constantly complain of palpitations/flutter and was told that my EKG was normal, I would also complian of SOB and had an echocardiogram which was also "normal". A few months back I was scheduled to have an elective minor surgery in which a preop EKG was ordered, it was ABNORMAL and showed a left bundle branch block and an intraventricular conduction abnormality.
Avatar f tn So, just a warning to everyone, stay away from that fake online pharmacy clomid. I know, it was stupid of me to try it but I want a baby so badly.
Avatar f tn Hey ladies don't know if you've seen it on FB or the news yet. There has been a warning issued, reminding moms not to let their babies sleep in the car seats. Babies are are being killed by being brought in, in their car seat and left to finish napping. This happens due to the lack of suport to their neck, cuzing them to suffocate. Tell you it sure has made me re-think about letting my baby sleep in his swing or his rocking chaire.
