Advair Side Effects?

[KevinHigashi]

Anyone else use this? I have been for 6 months and while it clearly has helped my breathing, I am beginning to be suspicious of side effects such as poor sleeping, stomache pains and some other issues (a little embarrassing ones).

Hmm, I don't think I have any side effects and it really helps a lot.

i find that i really cant live without it anymore. in some ways thats bad, but life is pleasant with it.

i have this silly and ridiculous fear that someday we will have like a nuke holocaust or something and i wont be able to get advair anymore and be miserable. LOL, i know how ridiculous that sounds, like i wont have bigger things to worry about in that scenerio!

Wow. I have the same fear, except it is a little more scary. We don't need a nuclear holocaust for our country's infrastructure to be destroyed to the point that we can't get such medication anymore. Could be multiple conventional terrorist attacks that could do it. I figure if that happens my days may be numbered.

On the other hand, I make sure I rinse my mouth after each dose. I have no side effects that I'm aware of. I do have problems sleeping and losing weight, but I figure that could be because I'm getting old.

Glad to see this thread here! I took my first dose of Advair this morning. I was diagnosed yesterday with COPD. I am glad there IS something to take so far.

 

[mizangelwolf]

Losing weight? That would be a plus for me

For the folks that have sore throat as a side effect-
Are you drinking something (or gargling) right after you take it? If I'm not mistaken, that's what the manufacturer (and my M.D.) suggests.

Oh, and I take the strongest version. It works well for me without any noticeable side effects.

I can't use the usual things for my asthma, they make my heart race, I can't sleep and I get so dehydrated. I also would get nose bleeds daily (bad nose bleeds). I quit taking all meds and decided to just suffer (I don't have bad asthma, just hard to breathe and chest pain). I started doing everything herbally about 5 years ago. First, you have to make sure you are pooping good (yes, there is a connection-don't ask me how, I just have seen the results), and I take a Chinese mushroom called Cordyceps for my lungs. The first time I took it, I woke up in the middle of the night and was able to take a full breath! I was amazed. I ran out of the herb and had not re-ordered yet, so I was out for a week before my next shipment came in. It was during that week that I realized how much it helped me. I felt like someone shoved cotton in my chest. I won't ever let myself run out again..

So if you decide Advair or other meds don't work for you.. research Cordyceps and see if it would work for you.

Hope this helps. Melissa

Thanks for the information and I'm very happy for you it works and doesn't give you side effects. I'm going to research that and give it some thought I'd love to not be dependant on my advair. You know, it makes sense, God put the herbs, plants there for a reason, His genius is far beyond our understanding.

Idr that i really had side effects, but i did stop taking it 1. the price & 2. i heard it's bad for your heart....since it does have some steriods in it (a small dose of albuterol)

 

[dizzywestsidegirl]

Actually, I have about 7 doses of this medication left, and I am glad that I do have it. I was diagnosed with COPD also, well it had been going on for a bit in my life, before I finally got a clue that it could be Asthma. So far, I haven't had any side effects, I do rinse out my mouth as the instructions state.

Seeing as though being able to breathe is a number 1 priority, I too worry about the "what ifs" I can't live a moment without my medication and inhaler.

 

[rickpaul]

Wish I could afford Advair, costs to much, is there anything else?

 

[Corri]

It made me go hoarse and was told to rinse my mouth afterwards. I'm still on it. The only alternative for me is Symbicort but probably just as expensive/

For me I just have noticed that my voice does go out at times but I think it is from all the inhalers I take as for weight no losing is not a side effect if any gaining is on some of the stronger meds.
