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 now.
I'm going to see if my psycharist will help me
take it tonight just in case I have a serious side
effect of the medince & just in case I have a allergic
reaction to the medince since my whole family
doesn't take things seriously.
(3.)Should I have my psycharist help me take it tonight?
(4.) Why or Why not?
(5.) Why does she think Advair Diskus caused her heart problems?
Answer:
Have you used albuterol (Proventil) for asthma? Advair has two components, salmeterol (which works similar to Proventil but longer acting) and fluticasone (corticosteroid like prednisone, same ingredient as Flovent). The salmeterol is a beta-agonist, and this kind of medications should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular diseases, specially heart failure or arrhythmia. But, if you have used Proventil in the past, you should be fine. It may give you tachycardia. If you feel uncomfortable using it, talk to the doctor who prescribe you the medication. Not everyone respond the same way to medications, so, someone may feel heart discomfort with the medication while other people may feel fine. Try it, see how it works on you first.
salmertol and fluticsone is a cotristeroid used for ashtma and allergies. It can cause weight gain and impotence.
