Question 1

does seretide (advair) work if it did not come in a foil pouch?

Accepted Answer

Drug packaging: The foil package is from the manufacturer so its absence could bring into question age and reliability.  Consider returning it back to where acquired and request a foiled packaged disc.

Accepted Answer

A number: Main side effects include tremor, increased heart rate, yeast infection of the mouth (called thrush).

Question 3

pls advice me, which  inhalor is stronger advair or seretide ?

Accepted Answer

Identical strength.: They are identical in strength, but there are 3 strengths of each.  The strengths are labeled slightly differently depending on the country they are sold in due to whether the strength is measured based on the solution itself, or the amount of medication delivered at the mouthpiece.

Question 4

is advair the same as seretide? since advair is not covered  by my insurance, i now am buying seretide from canada.  it is made by gsk in the uk?

Accepted Answer

Seretide vs Advair: Seretide is the name for advair outside the us. It also contains fluticasone and salmeterol. Hopefully you have a reputable supplier and the inhalers you are receiving are genuine.  I am always cautious about foreign pharmacies.  You should see your physician again.  Gsk is making advair available for free at participating pharmacies by e-voucher if your insurance has stopped covering it.

Question 5

what is good in seretide?

Accepted Answer

Asthma med: Seretide is a combination inhaled steroid and long acting beta agonist that is used for the treatment of asthma.

Question 6

can advair cause headaches?

Accepted Answer

Maybe yes: Many medications list headaches as a possible side effect. However, headaches are common in people, whether or not they are taking medication. If one gets headaches right after each dose of advair, advair may well be the cause. Advair has 2 ingredients, so one can try them individually to see if either cause a headache. One can also ask to try symbicort, (budesonide and formoterol) which is a little different from advair.

Question 7

is symbacort stronger than advair ?

Accepted Answer

Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) VS Advair: Atudy done in 2008 with symbicort (budesonide and formoterol)(budesenide&formoterol), was compared with advair(fluticasone&salmetrol) showed that symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) provided greater and faster bronchodilatory effect, compared with advair in adults with mild to moderate asthma
but in real life my experience of using both of these drugs there is not much difference and my patients get either depend of what is covered by their insurance.

Question 8

does advair make some people cough?

Accepted Answer

Maybe...: Any inhaler can induce coughing. So, if this is a bothersome symptom, return to your doctor so the inhaler can be switched. You may find, though, if you continue to use it, the cough reaction may subside. If it doesn't or the cough is bothersome, see your doctor.

Question 9

is an advair inhaler really dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Useful : Adair is a very useful medication when prescribed correctly for asthma. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.
