We'd like to share some common questions we hear so you have a better sense of the benefits of ADVAIR. And how ADVAIR may give you superior symptom control.*

What are the benefits of using ADVAIR DISKUS as an asthma treatment?
ADVAIR DISKUS treats the two main components of asthma—airway constriction, the tightening of the muscles surrounding 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.

How does ADVAIR work as an asthma treatment?
The ADVAIR DISKUS successfully treats the two main components of asthma by using:

• An effective inhaled corticosteroid: fluticasone propionate. This medicine reduces the inflammation in the airways.
• An effective inhaled long-acting bronchodilator: salmeterol. This medicine works by helping to relax the muscles surrounding the airways.

How do I take ADVAIR DISKUS?
