Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, is a condition that causes a reduction of airflow in and out of the lungs, which makes breathing more difficult. But today there's a treatment that may help you breathe better.* It's called ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50.
*ADVAIR® 250/50 is clinically proven to help your lungs work better (measured by a breathing test), compared with people taking either fluticasone propionate 250 mcg or salmeterol 50 mcg (inhalation powders). Your results may vary.
Important information about ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50
ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 is approved for adults with COPD, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. You should only take 1 inhalation of ADVAIR twice a day. Higher doses will not provide additional benefits. People with COPD taking ADVAIR may have a higher chance of pneumonia. Call your doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms: change in amount or color of sputum, fever, chills, increased cough, or increased breathing problems. ADVAIR may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems (cataracts or glaucoma). You should have regular eye exams. Thrush in the mouth and throat may occur. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking ADVAIR. Do not use ADVAIR with long-acting beta2-agonists for any reason. ADVAIR does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms.
