How To Use Advair Diskus InhalerAdvair Diskus 250/50 twice daily is the only dosage recommended for the treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD associated with chronic bronchitis. Higher doses, including Advair Diskus 500/50, are not recommended, as no additional improvement in lung function (defined by predose and postdose FEV 1) was observed in clinical trials and higher doses of corticosteroids increase the risk of systemic effects. Advair Diskus WarningRarely, serious (sometimes fatal) asthma-related breathing problems have occurred with the use of long-acting inhaled beta agonists (e.g., salmeterol). Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: white patches on tongue/in mouth increased thirst/urination persistent weight gain vision problems (e.g., blurred vision) shaking severe muscle cramping Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: chest pain fast/slow/irregular heartbeat severe dizziness fainting seizures An allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Advair Diskus Side EffectsTo relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonists, such as salmeterol, may increase the risk of asthma-related death. Data from a large, placebo-controlled US study that compared the safety of salmeterol (SEREVENT Inhalation Aerosol) or placebo added to usual asthma therapy showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving salmeterol Salmeterol is a component of Advair Diskus. Adverse ReactionsFive percent (5%) of patients using Advair Diskus in these trials averaged 6 or more inhalations per day over the course of the 12 week trials. No increase in frequency of cardiovascular adverse reactions was observed among patients who averaged 6 or more inhalations per day. In a COPD clinical trial, the mean daily need for albuterol for patients using Advair Diskus 250/50 was 4.1 inhalations/day. Twenty six percent (26%) of patients using Advair Diskus 250/50 averaged 6 or more inhalations per day over the course of the 24 week trial. Drug Interaction And OverdoseSimilar results were observed in patients receiving salmeterol 50 mcg plus fluticasone propionate 500 mcg twice daily concurrently with a theophylline product (n = 39) or without theophylline (n = 132). Beta-blockers not only block the pulmonary effect of beta-agonists, such as salmeterol, a component of Advair Diskus, but may produce severe bronchospasm in patients with asthma. Therefore, patients with asthma should not normally be treated with beta-blockers. |
