Advair 500 Help

[Guest guest]

Hi All

Well I got an Inspiration

Healthdyne 626 today and

used it for the first time,

all went well. Then I

thought what do I do about

the Advair 500 that I have

used for 3 years twice a

day, like can I just stop

using it, of course when I

thought about it the

doctors office was closed.

Does anyone know anything

about this? Thank you,

Karol

Karol,

What meds are you using in the nebulizer? Iptatroprium and albuterol?

If that is the case, those do not replace the Advair. Advair is a

controller med & most of the meds for the nebulizer are rescue type

meds and do not do the same thing. You really should not stop the

Advair without speaking with your doc on Monday.

steroids. You do need to talk to your doctor. I believe the 500 is the

highest dose of the advair. I went off advair for 3 or 4 days by

forgetting it and I definately  saw that I wasn't breathing as well.
