A member asked:
What is the likely of reduced immune function due to the steroids in advair? also, likelihood of cardiac side effects from advair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As a rule, the steroid in Advair is active and metabolized right at the point of contact in the lung tissue, leaving minimal remaining to enter the blood and effect the immune system. The second drug in this product is a cardio stimulant, related to adrenalin, that can speed the heart rhythm like other members in that drug class.
