Advair Diskus (Fluticasone-salmeterol) with overnight shipping

Introduction

Advair diskus (Salmeterol/Fluticasone) is a combination of a bronchodilator and a corticoid; it is prescribed to treat and prevent or lessen the symptoms of chronic lung disorders (e.g., emphysema, bronchitis, COPD) and asthma (e.g., crackling, painful respiration). Asthma is well treated with Advair Diskus. It reduces inflammation and widens the lungs’ airways, which lowers bronchiolar bulging and weakens the muscles.

Note: Using Advair Diskus to immediately stop an asthma attack won’t work. Other quick-relief medications or inhalers must be taken in the event of an asthma attack or abrupt dyspnea.

Before Treatment

Consult a physician if any of the following apply to you or have previously affected you: 

1. Consuming any additional medications, herbal remedies, or dietary supplements using an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase flare-up of COPD.
2. Allergy to foods, medications, or other things.
3. Bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral infection.
4. Osteoporosis or you are at risk of developing it.
5. If you are attempting to conceive, breastfeeding, or are pregnant.

How Is Advair Diskus Taken?

Patient Age	Dosage	Frequency
Under 4	1 inhalation	Twice daily (morning and evening)
4 and above	100/50 mcg	Twice daily (morning and evening)

Ask your doctor if there is another dosage that you should take. Always heed the advice of your physician and/or the directions found on the label of any prescription medication.

Take the dose as soon as you remember if you miss it. Take just one dose if it’s time for your next one. The dosage doesn’t need to be doubled.

Overdosing on any medication can harm your health. See your doctor as soon as possible if you think you may have overdosed.

FAQ

What is Advair Diskus’ mechanism of action?

Salmeterol relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways, facilitating easier breathing, while fluticasone lessens inflammation in the airways. When combined, they lessen the chance of asthma attacks and enhance lung function in COPD patients.

To whom is Advair Diskus usually prescribed?

Advair Diskus is prescribed for use in people with COPD and asthma as well as in children four years of age and older.

Is it possible to use Advair Diskus as a rescue inhaler for asthma attacks?

Advair Diskus is not a life-saving inhaler. It is a maintenance drug designed to be taken on a daily basis to control symptoms and stop asthma episodes. As instructed by your healthcare practitioner, use a rescue inhaler if you experience abrupt breathing difficulties.
