ADVAIR DISKUS Questions?
cause heart problems & that it can/could
cause someones heart to stop.
(1.) Is that true?
(2.) Why or Why not?
(3.) Why would she say such a thing that isn't true?
The person told me it made her have heart problems.
But if that was true I wouldn't think that
the FDA would approve of the drug& doctors wouldn't
prescribe it.
I'm so worried about taking it
Answer:
aswith al medications there are side affects. However my 10 year old takes as well as my 54 year old mother. Neither one have any problems.
These are the most common side effects:
The common and minor side effects of this combination are those of its individual drugs. For instance, the use of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with oral candidiasis.
Whilst the use of inhaled steroids and long acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA) are recommended in asthma guidelines for the resulting improved symptom control,[1] concerns have been raised that salmeterol may increase the small risks of asthma deaths and this additional risk is not reduced with the additional use of inhaled steroids.[2] This seems to occur because although LABAs relieve asthma symptoms, they also promote bronchial inflammation and sensitivity without warning.[3]
Other side effects include increased blood pressure, change in heart rate, or an irregular heartbeat.
I'm sorry.I'm having a hard time containing myself at the last part of your question.. "..the FDA would approve a of the drug & doctors would prescribe it...". Okay here's the deal. Your friend is 100% right. If you lived ANYWHERE but the wonderful world of capitalistic America you'd be fine. But you don't. About 5 years ago the drug Advair was "blacklisted". This means it can cause sudden death. One of the ingredients salmeterol is responsible for this. They found this to be the case moreso in young people. So what did the company that produce Advair do? You got it.they increased their advertising budget..cuz that's what pharmaceutical companies do. They could give a rats *** about young people dying.they do however care about the zillions they make. Oh and the FDA..they did blacklist it. Doctors just don't seem to pay attention. They are too busy enjoying all the toys and dinners and trips to the Carri bean the drug companies give them. Please see the movie Sicko if you haven't already and tell your friends. Your own doctor may not even be aware of this information but you can look it up on the internet.it's public information. And I'm sorry about my opening remark...this is a VERY sore spot for me..my doctor just tried to kill me with a cetain toxic medication.
