Advair, a powerful combination of fluticasone, an anti-inflammatory medication, and salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, is a crucial tool in managing chronic obstructive lung disease, including asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.

This medication not only prevents exacerbation or worsening of these conditions but also significantly lowers the risk of hospitalization, increased mucus production, cough, and shortness of breath. However, it’s important to note that if an acute exacerbation is already in progress, Advair should not be used for rescue.

Dosage

  • 1 or 2 inhalations twice daily

Common Side Effects

  • Throat irritation
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Hoarseness
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Upper respiratory infection (cold)

Cost

The price of Advair ranges from $38.00 to $135.00 for an aerosol powdered metered inhaler, strength 113/14 mcg (fluticasone/salmeterol).

How to Obtain a Prescription for Advair

As a prescription medication, Advair can only be obtained through a healthcare professional. This means you’ll need to consult with a physician or other licensed prescriber who can assess your condition and determine if Advair is the right choice for you.
