Foxxe47,
I too feel as though I don't get anything from most of my Advair. I told my doctor and he gave me 2 sample diskis and they worked until about the 20 mark???
What are we, as consumers , supposed to do? Insurance co-pay $30.00 a pop!!!

Are you getting the full benefit of your Advair disk? Try cracking the disk open when you are through and see if there are any doses left in the blister packet.
I have been an Advair user for several years. Within the last year or two, I have many times felt that the disk was empty....I couldn't seem to get the feel of anything coming out of the disk. I just assumed that maybe my breathing problems (asthma) were getting progressively worse. Never suspecting the disk, I threw them away when they were used up.
Recently, I became suspicious and cracked open the disk when I was through with the 60 doses for the month. Imagine my shock and surprise to see that I had gotten less than a THIRD of all the doses!!! The blister packet still showed the unused doses!!

advair 500/50 did not make my asthma settle completly. i finaly got off it and went to symbicort 160/4.5 , what a difference. I dont need to use my resuce in hailer. dont think i have used my resuce in hailer in over a month. SYMBICORT is great..
i use symbicort and spiriva seems to work best for me ..i did not like advair's serevent.

Contrary to advice on Advair needing to be taken for weeks to work, I used it as a "rescue" inhaler when I couldn't breathe and it was the difference between 2 hours sleep and 8 hours sleep, just using it once! Course the Drug Company wouldn't make as much money if too many people did that!:)

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Pisces

Relationships are kind of shaky under this Lunar Cycle and you may even get the distinct impression you're heading for a major showdown with a certain someone. Although this feels like a crisis, don't let panic or desperation push you into decisions you would normally steer clear of. You may think you've reached the end of the road, but this isn't a good reason to go off the deep end and make drastic decisions. Proceed with caution!
