What is Advair Diskus?

Advair Diskus is an asthma inhaler combining the medications fluticasone and Salmeterol. Advair Diskus and the Advair generic Seroflo are prescribed to help prevent asthma attacks by controlling symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Symptoms can include wheezing, coughing shortness of breath, and chest tightness as well as others. Fluticasone and salmeterol, the two medications in Advair Diskus, work together to manage your asthma symptoms. Fluticasone reduces the irritation and the swelling in your airways and then the salmeterol helps by opening up your airways which makes breathing easier. The use of a combination medication such as the Advair Diskus or the generic alternative does not increase the risk of asthma-related breathing problems that using salmeterol alone could do.

How to use Advair Diskus

Advair Diskus comes with its own inhalation device and is normally used twice a day, twelve hours apart. It is most effective when it is used regularly and can take over a week before you feel the full benefit of it. Advair Diskus is not a quick relief inhaler and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks.

This will be clear in your medication instructions. When you take this medication, it is normal that you may not be able taste or feel the drug and you do not need to take another dose.
