Advair^®
(generic name: Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol)

Advair is the brand name of a drug that contains Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol.
Fluticasone is a steroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Salmeterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.

 

Fluticasone and salmeterol inhalation is used to prevent asthma attacks. It is used only to prevent asthma attacks, not to treat an attack already in progress. It will not work fast enough to give relief during an attack. Fluticasone and salmeterol inhalation is also used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with chronic bronchitis.

 

What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and use the next one as directed. Do not use a double dose of this medication.

 

What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms of a salmeterol and fluticasone overdose may include angina or chest pain, irregular or rapid heartbeats, seizures, tremor, weakness, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
