This drug gave me high blood pressure! It is as effective as a $5 albuterol inhaler, but is 50 times more expensive |

This stuff helps your asthma wonderfully BUT it's not worth it! I was on it for 8yrs & my heart is suffering severely for it. Plus I can't see very well at all anymore, have horrible rage problems, am going trough early menopause (age 28) because it has messed up my hormones, I could go on and on. This drug has completely RUINED my life and my health! DO NOT START this horrible drug! Once you finally get off of it your lungs will be WORSE so please do not start for the sake of your own health!!!! |

AWESOME! I've been on Advair for 8 years and I've never had a problem with it and almost all of my symptomes are gone. I have moderate asthma and this drug as helped SO much. I have a higher energy level and love to exercise. When I don't take it I get headaches, and I'm tired until I take it. I don't take it at night because I don't feel like I need it, but I take it every morning. My doctor switched me to CINGULAIR and I almost instantly had to take my inhaler. It also gave me nightmares, so I stopped taking it after three days, switched back to advair and haven't had a problem since! |

From my first puff of this HORRIBLE drug, I experienced muscle cramps, heart palpitations, sore throat and SEVERE panic attacks (which I never b4 in my life experienced). I seriously thought I was dying! I was on it for only 5 days cause I took myself off it and my doctor prescribed me Flovent instead. I've had little 2 no side effects with Flovent & I've been on it for 9 mths now & I love it! As 4 Advair though, whoever invented that suicide drug should be FIRED! They should take it OFF the market! However, everyone is different & I'm sure not everyone has had the same side effects as me. As 4 taking care of my moderate asthma, I noticed improvement within my second puff (2nd day) of Advair but the side effects just wasn't worth it. |

i don't have severe asthma but when i was off it I had a very bad attack. Still use provental every once and a while. I like though I have never been on anything else. |

In 2006, disturbing findings from an earlier salmeterol study prompted the FDA to tag Advair with a "black box" warning — the agency's highest caution level. |

This $220 drug works just as good as a $5 albuterol inhaler and they both give you high
blood pressure. |

Worth every penny. Changed my life so much for the better, lowest possible dose too. Knocked out asthma the first day, and never needed albuterol inhalers again except very occasionally. |

My free sample ran out and now I can't sleep since my asthma is so bad. I cannot afford the $200/mo. to pay for it. I don't know why this stuff has to be so expensive. How much could it possibly cost to produce? These people are ROBBING US BLIND! I am unemployed and need this Advair desperately! My inhalers NO LONG PUT A DENT in my asthma. As I type this, I am about ready to admit myself to the hospital. I simply cannot afford this medication and it's the ONLY thing that works for me. |

I find Advair very effective in controlling ashtma especially chronic cough and whizzing but experience hoarse voice( could hardly talk at times), leg cramps and very dry mouth when taking it. I also find it very addictive. But being able to breath with the help of Advair is so great and is beyond measure. It is a great invention, it is inestimable. |

Gave me the worst leg cramps I have ever had. Was on for asthma and made it worse. I know of three other people who have had the same issue with this drug. |

Its a miracle worker... as long as you remember to take it. I was off of it for a week and ended up in the hospital, you become VERY dependant on it. |

Changed my life! I was on an inhaled steroid and didn't understand what true asthma control really meant until my doctor switched me to Advair! Thank you to whoever made this drug! |
