Help control your asthma with a simple and easy-to-use* device with a built-in dose counter
ADVAIR DISKUS has a built-in dose counter that helps you keep track of your doses. And, in turn, your refills. The dose counter begins at 60 and decreases by one number with each dose you take. The last five numbers on the dose counter are in red, to remind you to refill your prescription soon.

Simple dosing and long-lasting control of your asthma symptoms
Take one inhalation in the morning and one inhalation at night, approximately 12 hours apart, as prescribed by your doctor.

Breath-activated
ADVAIR DISKUS is a breath-activated device, eliminating all of the squeezing and shaking of inhalers and the hassle of spacers.

Convenient asthma treatment
ADVAIR DISKUS treats the two main components of asthma—airway constriction, the tightening of the muscles around the airways, and inflammation, the swelling and irritation of the airways. ADVAIR won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms.

Together, constriction and inflammation cause the airways to narrow and reduce airflow into the lungs, which may result in symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. ADVAIR helps to prevent such symptoms. And it's clinically proven to improve lung function.
