| 1 | asthma | It ruined all my teeth. Within 9 months from the time I started taking it, I started experiencing facial nerve pain. Horrible, agonizing pain. Turns out it was directly related to my rotten teeth, which were perfectly healthy when I first started taking Advair It rotted them from the inside out and they had to be pulled. Please be cautious about this drug. | F | 52 | 15 months | 1/12/2010 | 4 | asthma | My12 year old daughter has been on advair n singular for over 10 years. I believe the combination has prevented numerous trips to the hospital. My only concern has been her massive weight gain. She is currently at 215#'s She eats moderately n we try 2 eat out once a week. Junk food is rare at home. We've joined a gym, but she can't seem 2 lose the weight. Has anyone found a replacement 4 advair with less side effects. Children can/have been very mean 2 her bc of her weight. | Will it b a good idea to cut down her doses to every other day? | F | 12 | 10 years | 1/3/2010 | 1 | copd | I used Advair for one month. I had a sore throat, hoarseness, ache in my bones, particularly in my right hip. I also had two trips to the ER due to atrial fibrillation. | I had a headache upon awakening, felt nauseous all of the time, and had hot flashes. I will not take this medicine any more. | F | 63 | 30 days | 12/31/2009 | 3 | bronchitis | Advair was useful in opening up my bronchi when my bronchitis was acute. However, the side effects after three weeks of use were very uncomfortable. My voice became extremely hoarse. I still can't speak correctly.I hope my voice returns to normal someday. My vocal chords were irritated and burned and they still are burning. It also removed potassium from my system and I experienced muscle cramping at night in my legs. Not fun. | I am discontinuing taking Advair in spite of my doctor's recommendation that I continue. My bronchitis is over and I see no reason to continue to torture myself. | F | 66 | 30 days | 12/30/2009 | 3 | Asthma | Rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations | Advair really cleared my asthma, it was like I didn't have it at all when I was taking it. However the side effects were hard to handle, it would feel like my heart was beating out of my chest at times, and often I would have palpitations that were very scary. Also, it was hard for me to taper off of this medication without side effects worsening. After I told my doctor I couldn't take advair anymore she eventually put me on Flovent (like advair WITHOUT salmeterol) which makes me think it was the salmeterol in advair which causes these problems. | F | 21 | 2 months | 12/20/2009 | 4 | asthma | no side effects | my son takes this med. really well. no fighting, no aggression other than normal 2yr old fits.. & i know the difference he was taking singulair for a month & it was the most difficult month of our lives.. i'm so glad to have my sweet lil boy back... | M | 2 | 14 days | 12/16/2009 | 2 | asthma | atrial fibrilation | After two weeks of being on Advair my heart went into a fib and has not come back to a normal rhythm. It's been 10 days now. I stopped taking Advair yesterday. Let's hope thing return to normal | M | 60 | 24 days | 12/14/2009 | 1 | copd | rapid heart beat (tachicardia), tight chest, resultant coughs, insomnia, depresion, shortness of breath | For someone without sever breathing problems this drug should not be used. I have never take a drug with such terrible side effects. | M | 65 | 30 days | 12/6/2009 | 3 | C.O.P.D. | all over joint & body pain,severe knee pain,& weight gain. | this medication works real well to help you breathe, but the side effects of pain are bad, ive taken advair 100/50 on & off for 6 yrs. its also very hard to get off of, i think they put something in it to keep you on it. | F | 49 | 6 years | 12/4/2009 | 5 | Asthma | None | I’ve been on this drug for over ten years. I was initially prescribed 2 times a day, but I was able to reduce to 1 a few years ago. I notice when I forget to take it, but when I'm on it my asthma is well under control. | M | 27 | 10 years | 10/19/2009 | 1 | asthma | Advair gave me a very fast irregular heartbeat. It felt like I was having a heart attack. I also lost my appetite completely which led to me feeling very weak. I was light headed and sick to my stomach. | it's a very harsh drug. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 9/13/2009 | 3 | Asthma | Yeast infections, joint pain, heart palpitations | Been taking Advair for 2 years and have battled chronic yeast infections throughout my body ever since. Also have recently developed joint pain in my upper body. My asthma is lightyears better though. Trying to find another effective medication to replace Advair now. | F | 29 | 2 years | 9/11/2009 | 1 | persistent cough after URI | Severe hip joint and bone pain. IM morphine and Phenergan didn't even touch the pain, I was given IM toradol and Valium for muscles spasms before I could even lie down and get some rest. I am not on any analgesics for anyother reason, so the amt of medication I needed was huge for this issue. The ER dr thought it was my age, or something I did at work. I am a L&D nurse and actually outwork gals 1/2 my age so I knew it was not that. This is not a drug I'd recommend to anyone. While it did help quiet the coughing, far too significant of a side effect requiring an ER visit to make it worth taking. | F | 53 | 6 days | 9/11/2009 | 1 | asthma | yeast infection in throat, and rest of digestive track, weight gain, shakes. | Worked great on my asthma, was like I did not have it. No way to alleviate side effects (brushed/rinsed) and they were making me very very ill. Took the doc's forever to associate symptoms with the drug. Been off it for almost a year now and my body has still not gotten to normal. | F | 28 | 2 years | 6/30/2009 | 2 | asthma | Insomnia, change in the texture of my skin especially on my face to a strange, rubbery feel. I still have some but try to avoid taking it. I'd rather take Albuterol once. I got asthma as an adult and at night it was terrible. I found out I was living one mile from a trash incinerator. I moved away, to Jersey City of all places, and my asthma lessened. I still have it but generally try to take the short hit rather than the long term maintenance. I think that might be a ploy to just get everyone hooked on steroids. | BTW- I read ALL of that accordion-folded piece of paper they cram in the box with the drug and discovered that one listed side effect of Advair is potentially fatal asthma attack. Kafka where are you now? | F | 42 | 3 years | 6/13/2009 | 1 | asthma | sore, itchy, dry throat. My whole body is sore, but the cramps in my legs are unbearable (i've been working in construction for over 10 years and I couldn't stand the pain). coughing | having less frequent asthma attacks, except last night when immediately after taking Advair I needed my rescue inhaler. I realized today that I probably shouldn't of been taking 2 puffs in the evening (instead of one in the am and one in the pm). but body is sore. I had a severe leg cramp one evening this week that lasted exceptionally long (and brought tears to my eyes) | M | 29 | 2 weeks | 5/12/2009 | 3 | alpha one | sun sensitivity, bruising, body cramps, spasms, weight gain, shakiness | F | 58 | 4 months | 4/25/2009 | 4 | asthma, bronchitis | makes voice higher and softer | Because of the expense, I use the stronger one but use it less frequently, usually twice a week. My doctor brother tells me I should use it more regularly but I don't like the idea of using steroids. It does help. I don't like the effect on the voice, however. BTW, you can buy this in Mexico without a prescription for about 25% of the U.S. price. | M | 56 | | 4/23/2009 | 5 | None | Advair changed my life. My asthma was so bad that I couldn't exercise - and the older I got, I worse my asthma became. I was using albuterol 10 times a day or more to control symptoms. Since starting Advair, life has become 'normal.' I can exercise without a problem, and I have no asthma symptoms unless I forget to use Advair for several days. I've been using this medication successfully for about 6 years. | F | 50 | 6 years | 4/18/2009 | 2 | asthma/severe allergies | I experience hot flashes, irritability, inability to lose weight despite exercise, but worst of all, it has ruined my singing voice. I constantly have to clear my throat. My throat tightens when I try to sing, and my voice snaps, crackles, and pops. Asthma stole my ability to play the clarinet. Advair stole my ability to sing. | I have been on all three doses of Advair. I usually take 100/50 in winter/summer and 500/50 in spring/fall allergy season. It does help me breath, but the price that I have paid in side effects has been high with respect to quality of life. I am worried about developing cataracts and other problems because of long term use. If there were an effective non-steroidal treatment for asthma, I would take it in a New York minute. | F | 46 | 4 years | 4/11/2009 |
