Has anyone used Diskus advair 500/50 and what do you think of this medication for breathing problem?
Q:I have been sick for about a month maybe longer. I’ve been on antibiotics, steroid shots and now has put me on this medication and antibiotics again. Hes saying I am having asthma attacks, I would have to say something else is at play here because I have had attacks before but not ones that last for a months.

I use the 250/50 it completely controls my asthmaI see your concern. I have asthma, too. There are actually a surprising number of “triggers” of asthma and some CAN last months. Some are: you could have bronchitis, or your allergies are acting up, or you could have a sinus infection, or you could have GERD. You really should make another appointment and ask, “What are the antibiotics for? Why did you choose Advair? What else could be going on?”Advair Diskus is a wonderful asthma PREVENTER. It does not treat attacks. However, this medication is very effective because the size of the particles in the powder are really small. This means that when your bronchial tubes are restricted (such as during an attack), this medication can still get further into your lungs, unlike other medications. It has worked wonders for me.Now, go back to your doctor or get another one who explains to you what is going on and why he gives you a certain med over another. If you think there is something else going on, tell the doctor that. Do not be timid. And, get an allergist that can test and treat you for allergies.
