Is an advair inhaler really dangerous?

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

No: I have never had any complaints with advair other than cough and thrush. No severe reactions that I've seen - that's not to say something can't happen, but in general it is a very safe drug and has been around for over 10 years
