Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I thought it was old news....I've known about the salmeterol and the AdVair for almost as long as I have been taking the AdVair and that is at least ten years! Guess like you say, the FDA just decided to come out with a stronger warning???? I have been thinking about discussing all of my meds with my doctor when I see him this Friday.....Just to review each of them.... Good advice....always discuss meds with your doctor....   From: pyle456 <jamcculloch2@...> Subject: [ ] Re: just released Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 5:17 AM  Er, is it me, or is this NOT new information. It's just that the FDA is finally taking a firmer hand. LABAs have been controversial for a long time. My understanding for some time is that they should not be used without the accompanying inhaled corticosteroid. Regardless, anyone of us who is on a LABA should make sure to discuss this information with his or her prescribing physician.
