I only took it because I got a very bad cold and my asthma symptoms got bad, in the past I have taken it and after a few weeks I felt as though I was getting pneumonia. It does help for a while but then the side effects make it terrible to keep using. | F | 47 | 9 days 250/50 | 1/29/2015 | 1 | reactive respiratory airway | Diagnosed with the above from fumes from chemicals told to take 2 x daily did not took 1x a day only. Know myself better than my doctor knew if this was going to help my airway 1x a day would help. I finished the sample and Noted my prescription was 250/50 I thought WTH?? so I took it every other day for a day or so, the side effects were immediate very sore throat, dry cough, correcting my throat eye soreness, very tired, and the worst a fluttering feeling in chest area. I did tell her about the fluttering and she steamed right over it.... Well in any case I knew I NEEDED TO STOP IT, the first 2 days I went without it I knew my decision was a good one for me I felt better and I can breathe better and have a cough and slight soreness in throat and the weird feeling in chest comes once in a while, however for me I knew from the beginning this was not something to start FULL steam at 2 dosages because it would become a safety net and a habit. Please check on medicine before taking it LA | This is from my own personal experience if you do not have asmha don't wait til its too late and you end up with it from this medication, doctors are HUMAN too and often prescribe medication that not all of us can tolerate a GREAT doctor asks Questions and Listens to what you tell them and remembers it. God Bless to anyone who has or is having any issues from this medication. I am very thankful I listened to my intuition and you should to. | F | 48 | 15 days 100/50 1X day | 1/16/2015 | 1 | wheezing and night time coughing | I didn't realise the hand tremors, experienced after a few days of starting treatment were related, nor the foot cramps, until I experienced muscle twitching in my arm and did some research. The discomfort was nothing compared to the severe pain I woke with in my arm and hand 10 days later. I now (over 2 weeks later) have constant pain in my arm, carpal tunnel syndrome requiring surgery and am on high dose pain killers. My whole world has turned upside down due to this drug.... | I wish I'd never been prescribed this drug from hell. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 1/7/2015 | 5 | Asthma | Dry mouth sore throat. | F | 47 | 10 years 100/50 | 10/2/2014 | 5 | Asthma | Sore throat, depression, constipation. | I use Seretide 125/25 aerosol (the european name of Advair) Its fantastic, asthma almost completely gone. Fantastic medicine! If you don't rinse your mouth, you will get sore throat, and when the aerosol-inhaler shows only 20 doses left, throw it, or you will get sore throat. The depression and constipation will go away within two month of use. I used Symbicort (Budeosonid/Formoterol), it made my asthma dangerously worse and made me mentally and physical ill, and in the end it gave me edema in the airways. But if ANY asthma medication make you worse, stop it immediately! And ask for another kind!! While i reacted bad to Symbicort, it could be heaven to others, and while Seretide(Advair) is heaven to me, it can be dangerous to others. | M | 27 | 4 months 125/25 2X day | 5/18/2014 | 1 | Asthma | It did help to control my asthma attacks, which was good. The bad part was that I experienced extreme hoarseness, to the point where I could hardly utter any words despite being vigilant about rinsing out my mouth after every dosage. Additionally, I was getting red rashes all over my upper torso, especially on my arms and I also experienced some severe foot cramps a couple of times. I quit taking Advair without telling my doctor and all of these symptoms cleared-up after about a week. It is my firm belief that this medication is dangerous, poses long-term health risks and should be pulled from the market. Having had asthma for most of my life I'd rather just depend on my rescue inhaler everyday instead of using any type of drug such as Advair. I fear that using Advair on a regular basis can cause you to become more and more dependent on Advair an over time will destroy your lung function to the point where even daily doses of the strongest prescription of Advair will be ineffective. Not to mention the fact that the stuff is un-godly expensive. Use extreme caution. | M | 45 | 5 months | 4/1/2014 | 1 | some asthma | Tachycardia, High blood pressure | Taking the Advair sent me in the ER twice. The first time had trouble with high heart rate and very pale,never thought Advair was the cause. Then the second time my heart rate was 65 then 2 minutes after I took the dose it went to 160. Never took it again, this is poison. Still having some heart issues 2 years later | M | 51 | 4 months 500/50 2X day | 2/27/2014 | 4 | Asthma (chronic) | None that I know of besides being dependent on it. | I've taken the lowest dosage of Advair for about 12 years. I don't have any side effects that I know of. The only thing that sucks is that I am dependent on it, but it's helped my chronic asthma tremendously. I can be active without having to use my rescue inhaler. I can be normal and live my life. I only use it once a day. Sometimes if I forget to use it I'm still fine. If i forget frequently on about day 3 or 4 I start to feel congested. But other the price and being dependent on it, I don't mind the Advair. I just wish that there was a cure for asthma or that I grew out of it =(. Having asthma my whole life sucks. | F | 30 | 12 years 100/50 1X day | 2/20/2014 | 5 | Asthma | None | Took all my asthma issues away. Never have to take my rescue inhaler anymore. | F | 25 | 3 years 100/50 2X day | 1/18/2014 | 4 | Chronic (childhood) Asthma | Unknown | Advair has enabled me to live a mostly asthma-free life. I only need my rescue inhaler when it's very cold and during allergy season. The rest of the time, I'm fine. I can't say if I've had any side effects - I've been on it for so long now, it would be impossible to tell you. But if I have had any side effects that I never attributed to the medicine, they mustn't have been severe. Use with caution, of course, and consider an alternative if you have bad side effects. But at least give it a chance. | F | 19 | 16 years 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 5 | Asthma since childhood | I have been using this on and off for about ten years now. It causes severe cramping in my feet and legs. This however lets me live a normal life without using my rescue eight times a day. | F | 34 | 10 years 100/50 | 10/23/2013 | 3 | Asthama | I am in India and use a generic version of advair called Seroflow 100 with the same composition as advair. A dcotor put me onto it , after i was continuously wheezing and salbutamol inhalers were ineffective. I am using seroflow daily for 9 years. Seroflow provided me great releif , but i have become totally dependent on it , to the extent i am now addicted to it. I have gained 25 KGS and am unable to shed the weight despite regular excercise, dieting and vegetarian diet. I am now trying to quit it by using budecort + asthalin nebulisation in morning. However despite the nebulation i feel tightness in chest and asmatic. I have recently started taking codliver oil capsules. I have noticed that codliver oil capsules give me great releif and have increased the capsules from 4 daily to 10 daily i.e 3 mg total. Also i am researching on anti inflammatory foods and have flound garlic , ginger powder. I plan to use them also to help, but cod liver oil makes an impact 5 mins from when the codli | M | 33 | 9 years 30mg 1X day | 8/16/2013 | 2 | Serious Asthma | Dizziness, Headache., ear pain, swelling or heaviness in the brain., sore throat and or numbness in throat sometimes causing pain. Confusion and or memory loss. also a rash on in the middle of my arm where u bend it. I have been on and off it for 8 years and this time I decided to try it again and took nothing else with it and I ended up wishing I never tried it again. My 18 year old son wont touch the stuff he says he does not like how it makes him feel. Tossing it into the can and wont take this ever again. | For the first 3 years it seemed fine and not to many side effects. However I think they changed it as its been recalled at least 3 times that I know of. I can't take it anymore as I get confused and my throat and glands swell up with pain and sometimes a sore throat as well. My hearing also seems to get bad while taking it. I'm not going to take it again as im going to try allergy med with my albuterol for breathing.The horrible side effects are not worth it. From what I have read it takes at least 5 days for this to clear your system and even then u may still get some side effects for quite sometime later. | F | 51 | 8 years 250/50 2X day | 7/1/2013 | 5 | Asthma | None | I have tried many maintenance inhalers, Advair has been the most effective at controller my asthma. | F | 36 | 2 years 250/50 2X day | 5/3/2013 | 4 | Asthma | More prone to infections. | Very effective. Eliminated the need for a rescue inhaler. Just watch for side effects and adjust your dosage level accordingly to what your body can handle. | M | 51 | 9 months 100/50 2X day | 1/18/2013 | 3 | allergy and exerxised induced asthm | Dentist told me that my teeth were bad, because I was drinking too much coke. I've been off of coke for a year, and I am having even worse problems with my teeth now. I have also gained 40 pounds since starting advair. I am going to go talk to my doctor next week to see about changing. Other than that, it has worked wonderfully. | F | 34 | 6 years 100/50 | 11/22/2012 | 3 | COPD | Bloating - constipation. Leg cramps. Dry mouth. | Bloating in abdominal area. Constipation accompanied with cramps if not following a fibre enriched diet. Cramps in legs, mostly at night. Dry mouth, but found rinising and brushing teeth afterward eliminated symptom. As far as weight gain goes, the answer is no. I am 65 years old and weigh in at 124 lbs. P.S: Gave up smoking years ago. | F | 65 | 2 years 50 mg 2X day | 11/21/2012 | 5 | COPD | None, I swear everyone who comments on this board looks up their drug on the internet and picks a side effect, It is impossible to gain 60lbs in a month you people are crazy.or to get burning thrush after 2 inhalations yeast infections do not grow that fast. | 6 years 250/500 2X day | 10/29/2012 | 5 | copd bronchiectasis | dry mouth, constipation, occasional dizziness | was on symbicort, spiriva, and daliresp before...not much improvement in shortness of breath. Tried stronger dose of Advair first and side effects were horrible so doc suggested trying the lower dose. Works well, side affects are manageable. | M | 56 | 90 days 50 mg 2X day | 10/26/2012 |
