What other drugs are recommended for COPD Advair next?

Advair me to gain about 50 pounds, and I’m wondering if something out there instead of Advair.

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.

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.

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.
