Advair Diskus
Pronounced: AD-vare
Generic ingredients: Fluticasone Propionate Salmeterol
Advair Diskus is an oral inhaler that contains two types of asthma medication. One is fluticasone propionate a steroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. The other salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that opens up the airways. Together the two ingredients provide better control of asthma than either does individually. It will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
ADULTS
The recommended dosage of Advair Diskus is one inhalation twice daily. Take the inhalations morning and evening 12 hours apart.
The product comes in three strengths. Your doctor will select the best strength for you based on your current therapy. If this selection fails to improve your asthma after 2 weeks the doctor may prescribe a higher strength.
CHILDREN
Advair Diskus can be used by adolescents 12 years of age and older. The dosage is the same as for adults. It is not known whether this medication is safe for children under 12. Its steroid component has been known to stunt growth. |
