Similar ingredients: The are several inhalers with similar medications, used for the same lung conditions that Advair is used for. For example, there is Symbicort, and there is Qvar plus salmeterol. One's doctor can help decide whether a change would be helpful or not. Patients should not change medications without talking to their prescribing doctors.
