Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
The Advair Inhaler is a prescription medicine used to help people with breathing problems. It combines two ingredients: Fluticasone and Salmeterol. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that works by relaxing the muscles around the air passages. The Advair Inhaler is approved to help manage asthma symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath when used daily.
When using the Advair Inhaler, instructions should be followed closely to ensure the treatment works well. It is usually taken as 2 puffs twice per day by breathing it in through the mouth. The inhaler should be shaken for five to ten seconds before each use, and a full exhale should be done before placing the mouthpiece in the mouth. Regular use at the same time each day helps the medication work better. The inhaler should be cleaned as directed, and it may take a week or longer for maximum benefits.
The active ingredients in Advair are Fluticasone and Salmeterol.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
The most common side effects of Advair HFA include upper respiratory tract infections, headache, throat irritation, dizziness, hoarseness, and nausea or vomiting. These side effects are generally mild, but if they persist or worsen, talk to your healthcare provider. Rinsing your mouth with water after each use can help reduce the risk of developing oral thrush, a fungal infection.
Advair HFA may cause serious side effects such as pneumonia, weakened immune function, or reduced adrenal activity. Signs of pneumonia include increased mucus, fever, chills, or worsening breathing issues. Sudden breathing problems or allergic reactions like rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention. Regular check-ups are recommended to monitor bone health, growth in children, and eye health while using this medication.
