Advair works in a different way than abuterol and most people who take advair also take abuterol. If you questions on meds and your meds are causing side effects you should really talk to your Dr. or pharmacist. They will be the ones to give you all the info on side effects. Also make sure you shake your abuterol really well not shaking it enough can make you shake worse.
You also can try googling adviar to get to the product web site but if you are not a Dr. or are not well versed in medical terminology then you won’t understand all the side effects listed. -

hi.. I take Advair as well.. although I have had no side effects from it at all. I haven’t heard of anyone having side effects from it so I’d talk to my Dr if I were you. Have you looked at the information pamphlet that comes with the Advair disk to see what it says there?
I used to take Flovent but I found it was far less effective than the Advair. You could check with the lung association for information on other asthma meds… but talk to you Dr.
Do you do breathing exercises? How ’bout swimming? Swimming is one of the best exercises for asthmatics… it helps to strengthen the lungs. - Comment Feed for this Post
