| 5 | M | 35 | 1 years | 6/18/2004 | 1 | asthma | I came down with thrush days after starting this medication. It did not go away with treatment until I stopped taking Advair. | F | 28 | 1 months | 6/1/2004 | 2 | Asthma | I get awful yeast all through my body, especially in my throat and also an increase in upper respiratory and sinus infections. I feel like I am constantly taking Diflucan to make myself feel better. | Besides the awful side affects, it does help with asthma. To me it is not worth it for all the problems. I'm trying to find something else to try. | F | 21 | 3 years | 5/8/2004 | 1 | Bronchitis | Throat closed up, couldn't breath well | Take albuterol inhaler instead for bronchitis | F | 31 | 2 days | 5/4/2004 | 4 | Asthma | Thrush (Candida Yeast Infection in Throat) which quickly spread to my entire system and caused not only a throat infection but a vaginal infection and skin infection on my limbs. Infection appeared after about 4 weeks on the drug despite religious rinsing of mouth. | I am currently trying to work through the yeast problems because this drug has made such a huge difference to my asthma. I went from using my albuterol inhaler 8 times a day to once every other day or so! I will try and work out the Yeast issues with diet if I can so that I can stay on this drug. I would hate to have to give it up. | F | 25 | 2 months | 2/25/2004 | 5 | severe asthma | none | i love advair. i had (have?) severe asthma--i spent most of my childhood in hospitals trying to treat it. now i use the 250/50 once a day and havent had to use the rescue inhaler in over a year! and no hospital visits either. love it!! | M | 27 | 2 years | 9/20/2003 | 5 | breathing problems | F | 60 | 24 days | 8/21/2003 | 4 | I have COPD | none | The first time I tried it, I did not feel it was working, but I found out you must take it a few months. | F | 58 | 6 days | 8/10/2003 | 4 | asthma | Laryngitis & hoarseness, but the worst was that Candida yeast infection I developed in the back of the mouth & throat, inspite of the rinsing of the mouth immediately after using the disk. The hoarseness started about 5 days into usage & the Candida appeared at 4 weeks. | It helped with the asthma but the side affects were too great - so I have discontinued using it. | F | 54 | 4 weeks | 7/18/2003 | 5 | Asthma | much more convienent than taking several puffs of several inhailers | M | 39 | 1 years | 6/19/2003 | 5 | athsma | none | Incredible product, but expensive. Went from using my rescue inhaler several times a day, to now, I haven't used it in MONTHS. | M | 34 | 9 months | 12/24/2002 | 5 | Asthma | none | Best thing to come on the market. Don't have to use two other inhalers - Flovent & Serovent | F | 63 | 15 months | 12/8/2002 | 5 | Asthma | some discomfort from powder spray in throat - wash down with water no problem | As an asthmatic and a pharmacist... this drug is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I start it every time I get a cold, and this way completely prevent the weeks of coughing that usually followed. Advair has changed my life for the better! | M | 26 | 4 times | 11/14/2002 | 5 | Asthma | Loss of Voice. Some coughing | This seems to be working really well for me. I have had asthma for 18 years now and this is the first time in my life that I've gone days without having to use my albuterol. I'm really excited about this medication. | F | 24 | 2 months | 10/9/2002 | 4 | shortness of breath, wheezing | nervousness, headaches, legs cramp, feet cramping, sore throat | F | 48 | 30 days | 10/6/2002 | 5 | Asthma | Weight gaining, and problem with voice getting whorse. | I take Advair 500/50, and it has helped me tremendously. | M | 32 | 70 days | 10/2/2002 | 1 | To Treat My Asthma | i experienced a heavy cough, lower & upper respiratory problems, stomach pains and nausea, and diarrhea. | I think this medication should be looked at again & tested over again, unless you like to be sick all the time. I have read the inside booklet to the diskus and found that the side effects were not the best thing for people with asthma, nobody needs respiratory problems when they have asthma. i have found not being on the medication makes me feel better. | M | 18 | 6 months | 5/19/2002 | 5 | asthma | unknown at this time. possible weight gaining | M | 41 | 65 days | 6/27/2001 |
