Advair has caused me to gain about 50 lbs and I wonder if there’s something else out there instead of Advair.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
A good drug used to treat COPD is albuterol (it goes by trade names such as Ventolin and Proventil). It is a bronchiodialotor which opens up the bronchi airway passages thus making it less difficult for you to breath normally. It is an inhalant that is most often used as a nebulizing treatment. You may want to also look up ipratropium bromide which is used in conjunction with albuterol sulfate to effectively treat COPD.
Side effects include:
palpitations, fast heart rate, elevated blood pressure, tremor, nausea, nervousness, dizziness, and heart burn. Throat irritation and nose bleeds can also occur.
An old stand by it Theophyline also know as Theo-dur. Also prednisone. Of course there are others….
Vicki,
I take Advair, Xoponex and Spiriva. I have COPD/ emphysema with an asthma component. I used to take Flovent 220 HFA but that has been switched for the Advair. I do well with these.
Spiriva is one of the best for COPD
Really? Ive been on Advair for 3 years and have not gained a pound from it. I do gain when I have to use predisone for longer then 5 days. I am on Advair disk 500 mg 2xday and Spiriva 18mg 1xday.
I have had COPD for 15 years now. At the present, I am having severe chest pains, sore throat and I cannot breathe. I have been taking Flovent 220 and Advair 250. Every now and then, I use ventolin but not often. Because of the chest pain, I stopped taking everything and I am beginning to feel a bit better. I do not have any health insurance so going to a doctor, is out of the question. Any help from you guys out there?
