Advair Details (Brand and Generic)

CanadaPharmacyOnline.com currently offers the brand version of Advair Diskus from Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom (Seretide) manufactured by GSK. The generic Fluticasone/Salmeterol Diskus, also called Seroflo by Cipla, comes from India and Canada and is manufactured by a different manufacturer. Ordering Advair Diskus, Advair inhaler, or Spiriva will be your best choice from our CIPA-certified pharmacy; please call Customer Service at 1866.920.3784.

Dosage

The brand Advair Diskus and generic Fluticasone/Salmeterol Diskus are available in several strengths: 100 mcg/50 mcg/60 dose, 250 mcg/50 mcg/60 dose, and 500 mcg/50 mcg/60 dose; please refer to Drugs.com.

Usage

Advair (Fluticasone/Salmeterol) is a prescription for treating asthma and COPD (source). It is used to stop an asthma attack from occurring. It is also used to prevent flare-ups or worsening of COPD associated with chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. Advair prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Advair contains two active ingredients: Fluticasone and Salmeterol. Fluticasone belongs to the group of drugs called steroids, and it works by stopping the substances in the body from being released that cause inflammation. Salmeterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways. The two medications work together to help you breathe more easily. Advair is not a rescue inhaler; it should not be used to treat sudden and severe asthma symptoms. The standard dose for adults using Advair Diskus is one puff twice per day, about 12 hours apart. You should see an improvement in asthma control within 30 minutes of beginning treatment, but the full benefits may take one week or longer after starting treatment.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the product monograph. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects and Precautions

As DailyMed specifies, more severe side effects of Advair Diskus include bronchospasm, chest pain, cough with yellow/green mucus, fast/uneven heartbeat, restlessness, tremors, white patches/sores in the mouth, and worsening asthma symptoms. The common Advair side effects include:
• Cough, dizziness, dry mouth;
• Headache, hoarseness or deepened voice;
• Nausea, vomiting;
• Nose or throat;
• Sinus pain, sore throat;
• Stuffy nose

The above information is a summary and may contain only some information. Please refer to the official website for a complete list of side effects. Please note that individual reactions may vary, and not everyone will experience all the adverse reactions. If you still have questions about side effects, we suggest further conversations with your doctor.

Warnings and Interactions

You should not use Advair if you are allergic to fluticasone, salmeterol, or milk proteins or if you are having an asthma attack or severe COPD symptoms (source). Before taking the medication, inform your doctor about your medical condition and all the medicines you currently take, including OTC and herbal medications. There may be a drug interaction between Advair and other medications such as amiodarone, diuretics, HIV medications, MAO inhibitors, antidepressants, antibiotics, antifungal medications, beta-blockers, etc. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking Advair without consulting your doctor. It may worsen the side effects. Discuss the risks and benefits of using Advair Diskus if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Rinse your mouth with water swallowing after each dose of Advair Diskus; otherwise, it can cause fungal infections in your mouth and throat (source). Use the Advair inhaler with extreme caution in children between 4 years and 11 years of age. Advair inhalers should not be used in children under four years of age. It may also affect the growth of children. You should avoid being near people who are sick or have infections because Advair can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. Advair Diskus should be stored at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Please keep it in a dry place, away from heat and sunlight. Store Advair Diskus in the unopened foil pouch and only open it when ready. For a comprehensive list of precautions, warnings, and interactions associated with Advair, please visit the Mayo Clinic.
