I was perscribed Advair a few years back to help get my asthma under control. It really did work well for that and I was able to get my asthma back on track nearly immediately after starting it. But after doing a little research I found that all Advair is, is Serevent and Flovent which are two commonly perscribed steroid inhalers mixed together in a powdered inhalant.

My insurance was greedy and would not cover Advair, they would only cover the inhalers sepreately so they could get 2 co-pays from me.

Another downfall for me personally was the steroids made me very anxious and nervous constantly which I did not like, so I decided to not take the medication anymore (under my doctors supervision).

I also did not appreciate the dust residue left in my mouth after using. Horrible after taste!
