Advair Diskus Generic - Fluticasone/Salmeterol From Canada

The Advair Diskus (Fluticasone and Salmeterol) is a prescription medication used to treat airway spasms (called bronchospasms) caused by asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Advair comes in two forms, the Advair Diskus and the Advair HFA inhaler. The Advair Diskus is a new kind of dry powder inhaler. It contains dry Advair powder in small foil pockets within the Advair Diskus. These pockets are punctured (by sliding the lever until it clicks), and the powder is inhaled using your own breath.

In clinical studies involving the Advair Diskus and asthma, the medicine was shown to improve breathing better than when either of the active ingredients of Advair (fluticasone or salmeterol) was used alone. Sometimes, asthma medications can make asthma symptoms worse. In one study, only 3 percent of people taking the Advair Diskus had to stop the medication due to worsening asthma, compared to 11 percent of those taking fluticasone alone, 35 percent of those taking salmeterol alone, and 49 percent of those taking neither medication.

In studies of the Advair Diskus for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the Advair Diskus was given to people with COPD associated with chronic bronchitis. People taking the Advair Diskus showed improved lung function, compared to those not taking the medication.
The Advair Diskus contains two different medications - fluticasone and salmeterol. Salmeterol is part of a class of drugs called beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, or beta agonists for short. Beta agonists stimulate beta receptors in the body, including those on the muscles around the airways. This stimulation causes the muscles to relax, which opens up the airways and allows more air to get into and through the lungs.

The other component of the Advair Diskus is fluticasone, an asthma medication that belongs to a group of drugs called inhaled corticosteroids, or steroids for short. Inhaled steroids go directly into the lungs and help to decrease the inflammation of the airways that makes asthma attacks more likely.
Because the Advair Diskus does not work quickly, it should not be used for treating an asthma attack. Rather, it is used twice a day in order to prevent asthma attacks.

Some general considerations for when and how to use this medication include:

o Advair is inhaled into the lungs, usually twice daily, with about 12 hours between doses.

o The Advair Diskus is used differently than older inhalers. It contains small foil pockets that are filled with the powder. These pockets are punctured (by sliding the lever until it clicks), and the powder is inhaled using your own breath.

o Rinse out your mouth (without swallowing) after each dose in order to prevent thrush.

o Be sure to keep the Advair Diskus horizontal while using it (otherwise the powder can spill out). Never exhale into the inhaler, as this will also disrupt the powder.

o It is important to learn exactly how to use your Advair Diskus. It may be difficult at first and may require some practice.

o Some people may not taste or feel the fine powder.

o Advair should be taken at the same time each day to maintain even levels of the drug in your blood.

o For Advair to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. It will not work if you stop taking it.

As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with the Advair Diskus. However, not everyone who uses the Advair Diskus will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate the medication well. When side effects do occur, in most cases they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
