A member asked:
Will 250mcg or advair diskus (salmeterol and fluticasone) effect a methacholine test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both the steroid and long acting bronchodilator would likely produce a false-negative test. The minimum one must stay off of Advair would be 2 weeks. On the other hand, if one were to check how the medication works, one can compare the response before and after starting Advair- mostly done in research setting.
