Advair is used to treat asthma and chronic bronchitis. But it is used to prevent Asthma attacks from occurring and does stop an attack if it has started. Advair consists of Salmeterol/ Fluticasone, comes in 100mg, 250mg and 500mg doses, and Advair/Salmeterol is being manufactured by GlaxoWellcome.
What are the major disorders for which Advair/Salmeterol may be Used?
Advair/Salmeterol is used for the prevention of Asthma. Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems. People with asthma have acute episodes or when the air passages in their lungs get narrower, and breathing becomes more difficult in asthma. Sometimes episodes of asthma are triggered by allergens, although infection, exercise, cold air and other factors are also important triggers.
Asthma is a disease of the respiratory system. During an asthma attack, the muscles around the airways tighten, or "spasm" (like when you make a fist) and the lining inside the airways swell or thicken, and get clogged with lots of thick mucous. This makes the airways much skinnier than usual so it is harder to move air in and out of the air sacs. This makes it hard to breathe!
Everybody doesn't feel the same things when they have an asthma attack:
- sometimes during an asthma attack, people will cough and cough and cough,
- sometimes during an asthma attack, people feel like they can't catch their breath,
- sometimes during an asthma attack, people feel like air is trapped in their lungs and they can't get it out,
- sometimes during an asthma attack, people have pain in their chest,
- sometimes during an asthma attack, people have very noisy breathing,
Advair diskus is very commonly used for the treatment of asthma.
The compound in Advair i.e Fluticasone is a steroid, which prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Salmeterol is a bronchodilator. Advair/Salmeterol works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing. Advair diskus is used to prevent asthma attacks.
