Common Questions and Answers about Advair steroid

Avatar n tn Beware of Advair, Serevent, or any inhaled steroid. MD's are cavalier about putting people on these dangerous drugs, sometimes prescribing them for minor asthma problems or mild chronic bronchitis. These drugs can affect adrenal function, causing fatigue, anxiety and panic attacks. They can worsen your symptoms, making you think your ailment is progressing. What took me off them permanently (in addition to adrenal fatigue) was that they were causing me to choke (a frightening experience).
757137 tn?1347196453 Because of serious side of effects of both Advair and an inhaled steroid that did not contain salmeterol, I now rely solely on a nebulizer and an antihistamine. I take supplements to reduce inflammation and thin mucus. I have moderate COPD and am doing fairly well, but would benefit from a longer-lasting medication. Any suggestions?

Avatar n tn how long does it take advair to get out of your system after being on it for 3 years(250 twice a day)? I just quit advair and doing other alternative medicines to help me.
1679876 tn?1304743615 I have been given Advair to take for my copd, but one side effect is fast and irregular heart beat, chest pain and increased BP----I take Metoprolol succ er for my PSVT--- -Will the Advair Diskus work against my metoprolol meds?

My other meds I take are: zolof, welbrutrin, seroquel xr, gabapentine,tizanidine hcl and pravastatin sodium----will there be any adverse reactions to any of these meds?
757137 tn?1347196453 Advair has a steroid in it, which can cause hair growth, etc. I took Advair for my COPD briefly. I simply did not like the side effects that it seem to give me.
Avatar f tn Go to your lung doc and work out that you need to get off the advair and on to a non-steroid medication. Get stable on the med and then you can do the stim test. As for the cause... The advair could contribute to it but those doses are pretty low especially since you are moderate asthma. Testing in the afternoon is... Not so great. Morning or midnight times are diagnostic. Cortisol is supposed to drop in the afternoon. I was low during the day and I had high cortisol.
Avatar n tn Hi there, I stopped advair a few months ago. I was on it previously for 7 years. Since then I've had a sore/irritated throat and have seen the doctor who has done two cultures with nothing abnormal growing. They don't see anything either. It's like every little thing irritates my throat and it happened as soon as I stopped the advair. Any ideas what this could be ?
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 f tn I am supposed to take advair 250/50 twice a day. I have not been taking it because it is so expensive. I took it the last couple of days because I was having a hard time with fatigue. I took it and man I felt great! Now I got thrush again! Every time I use that stuff I get thrush even tho I rinse my mouth with saltwater! I also noticed it makes me cough! Anyone else have these problems?
Avatar n tn Yes, Advair is a steroid and steroids have many horrible side-effects. When I was taking Prednisone, I too had horrible night terrors, anxiety, unknown fears which I never knew existed. Get a second opinion, go to a Naturopathic Doctor, find a good one. I am now drug-free, terror free and almost completely asthma- free. I eat healthy, I exercise, have learned how to breathe properly and get fresh air and sunshine. Try something else, for the sake and future of your child Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn I have had several problems with advair such as thrush and irregular heart beat. Also, my endocrinologist suggested that my osteopinia (sp?) could be related to advair use but it's just one possible culprit. I'm a runner and just finished a marathon and got thrush again from advair so decided I wanted to at least take a break from it. Well, it's been a few days and I have never had such breathing problems before I used advair, I have a constant headache and I'm exhausted.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Advair for many years now, and I believe it is affecting my vocal chords. I am a singer, and I always have to clear my throat, and am always raspy. Does advair dry out vocal chords? Is there a better option that can help me breathe, but also still sing?
Avatar f tn late on-set asmath 8-months back, my daily regiment isone-puffs of Advair 50/500 twice a day followed by Ventolin as needed but no more than two-puffs fours times daily. My question: how will these drugs affect my lungs, teeth, mouth over a long period of time?
Avatar f tn If you are having problems with your heart race see if you can switch your steroid from advair to flovent. Advair will make your heart race. It sent my sisters through the roof. I found that switching from atrovent to xopenex helped a lot. I know longer feel like my heart is beating 200 bpm and feel much less shakier.
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 well advair is a steroid and it acts on the adrenalin..to relive inflammation.. in the lungs to open constricted airways to breath..the only thing this could become from advair realy nothing wants you stop taking it..it,s done...but did you ween urself off of it?? it can cause adverse problems but thats only wile your using it..no i cant say the advair is a factor in whats going on with you..
Avatar n tn Having been on Advair for one year, I now have "frogs" in throat which causes me - a singer - to lose my voice when singing low notes. The Advair was discontinued and I am now on Symbicort which, I am afraid, is causing the same problem. Is there a simple "home remedy" for this problem? Thank you.
975514 tn?1324997938 I am curious to know if there are any long term health risks to using the Advair Diskus? I have been using it since it came out at various different dosages depending on my needs at the time. Just curious to know what others have experienced. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Hi, my name is Aida. I am suffering from saver asthma. I become steroid dependent. I decided do everything to get read of steroid. Now I am taking herbs, doing yoga, taking vitamins and i am thinking to start walking. My doctor is not encouraging me. He keep telling that i can not do it, i will end up in the hospital, i have to stay on steroid all my life. I am 47 and I don't want to stay in steroid all my life. It is already giving me side effects. Please can you respond?.
Avatar f tn Yes..Advair is horrible for you. It brings your immune system way down. If you can go without it, I suggest you do so. I have meneire's diseases and I believe it was caused by the advair. My sister is on the Advair and has a constant sore throat but she can't breath very well without it. She could breath better before she was on advair. At first, you feel great on Advair. After a few months, for a lot of people, your health is worse.
746512 tn?1388807580 Symbicort for example includes both Pulmicort, as well as an LABA called Formoterol. Another example is Advair (Flovent/Salmeterol). I would definitely recommend seeing your Pulmonary Specialist.
Avatar n tn Can long term use of Advair cause bruising? I have been on 500/50 for two years in the summer months and 250/50 the remainder of the year. I am bruising easily and believe it may be a long term side effect for using Advair.
