Hi Emily!

I'm on Advair too, and have been since it came out..... (I think it has been for at least 2+/- years....) Here's the link to their website:

I really think it's going to be approximately 10 days (to 2 weeks) before you feel any relief. (if I can remember way back when....)

One thing I will stress is using an inhalor the proper way.
Did your doctor's office (? nurse, medical asst.), show you how to use an inhalor with a 'dummy inhalor'? (perhaps you are also on Albuterol as well, and know how to do this?)

There are so many elderly people I see that just open their mouths & press on the inhalor - I can't imagine that any medication is getting into their lungs ! I feel so badly for them. If they are shown how to do it, they soon forget. (this goes for people even in my age group as well).

What dose did your doctor start you on? (I know there are 3 strengths for Advair). I really hope that you improve greatly with Advair !

If you want any help at all on how to properly use your inhalor, please feel free to PM or e-mail me, Emily.

Have a peaceful evening.

Denise
