Advair Side Effects

Recently the FDA has associated the asthma drug Advair with worsening the symptoms of asthma and an increased risk of Asthma related deaths. Advair contains a combination of the drugs fluticasone a steroid which reduces inflammation of the airways and salmeterol a long acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that relaxes and opens the airways to facilitate better breathing and prevent an asthma attack.

The information in FDA's proposed changes to the Advair product labels explains that, even though LABAs decrease the number of asthma episodes, these medicines may increase the chances of a severe asthma episode when they do occur. In one asthma medicine study, an increased number of people taking a LABA in addition to their usual asthma care died from their asthma compared to people taking a placebo in addition to their usual asthma care, although the number of asthma deaths in the study was small. The Medication Guide has information about these risks for patients and caregivers in language approved by FDA and will be given to patients when a prescription for a LABA is filled or refilled.

Some Advair side effects can include: bronchitis, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty speaking, fungal infection of the mouth, headaches, stomach pain, hoarseness, muscle and bone pain, nausea, sore throat, sinus pain, and severe asthma episodes requiring hospitalization and possible death stemming from severe asthma episodes.
