Advair 500/50...am I Being Overdosed?
Posted: 11-10-04 13:52pm
I was recently diagnosed w/asthma..I was given 100/50 advair & an albuterol inhaler...All I have been using is the advair & I see a tremendous difference.. The perscription I have to get filled is for 500/50. Thinking that there is something wrong going from the lowest strength to highest, I called the doctor & the receptionist said that "that is what I have to get" for some reason I think she is wrong & doc could possibly have made a mistake.
Am I being neurotic? Any advice/experinces to share are welcome.

I would definitely go back and check again...Although it is hard for them to admit...Doctors do make mistakes. Please take control of your health and follow your gut feeling.
If you would like more information on triggering affects of asthma and how simple changes in your life could affect the quality of it, please contact me.
Its amazing how improving the air that we do have control over...Like in our homes, we can improve our health.
I can show you how!!

Yes, I would check with your doctor also. That's a very high dose, so either your asthma is very severe or you have emphysema.

Good luck!

Note: I could not tolerate advair. It worked at first, then caused worse symptoms. It also brought about a "panic" response in me.

Take care
