Advair Diskus Powder
Pronunciation: floo-TIK-a-sone/sal-MEE-ter-ol
Generic Name: Fluticasone/Salmeterol
Brand Name: Advair Diskus
Long-acting beta-agonists, such as one of the active ingredients in Advair Diskus Powder (salmeterol), have been rarely associated with an increased risk of asthma-related death. They may also increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalizations in CHILDREN and TEENAGERS. Advair Diskus Powder should only be used to treat asthma in patients who are not controlled by using other long-term asthma-control medicine. Advair Diskus Powder should not be used in patients whose asthma can be controlled by inhaled corticosteroids (eg, fluticasone).
Advair Diskus Powder is used for:
Treating asthma in certain patients. It may also be used for long-term treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in certain patients. It may also be used to treat other breathing conditions as determined by your doctor.
Advair Diskus Powder is an inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting bronchodilator combination. The corticosteroid works by reducing inflammation and the bronchodilator works by widening the airways in the lungs. This helps you breathe more easily.
Do NOT use Advair Diskus Powder if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Advair Diskus Powder or to milk proteins
- you are having an asthma attack or severe breathing problems (eg, sudden, severe onset or worsening of asthma or COPD symptoms, such as chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing)
- you are using another type of long-acting inhaled bronchodilator (eg, formoterol, salmeterol)
- you are taking certain azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), a macrolide antibiotic (eg, clarithromycin), nefazodone, protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, boceprevir, indinavir, ritonavir), or telithromycin
- you have asthma that is already well controlled with the use of a long-term asthma-control medicine (eg, inhaled corticosteroid)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Advair Diskus Powder:
Some medical conditions may interact with Advair Diskus Powder. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of diabetes, eye problems (eg, cataracts, glaucoma, increased pressure in the eye), heart problems (eg, fast or irregular heartbeat, heart blood vessel problems), high blood pressure, nervous system problems, liver problems, low blood potassium levels, high blood acid levels (eg, ketoacidosis), seizures, thyroid problems, or an adrenal gland tumor
- if you are having a COPD flare-up, have recently been to an emergency room for asthma, have a history of frequent hospitalizations for asthma, or have ever had a life-threatening asthma attack
- if you have a fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection; a viral infection (eg, measles, chickenpox, shingles); herpes virus infection of the eye; tuberculosis (TB); a history of a positive TB skin test; an immune system problem or if you are taking a medicine to suppress the immune system (eg, tacrolimus); or if you have had a recent vaccination
- if you have weak bones (osteoporosis) or have risk factors of osteoporosis (eg, a family history of osteoporosis, tobacco use, long-term alcohol use, long-term use of corticosteroids or certain seizure medicines, limited physical exercise, poor nutrition)
- if you have had an unusual reaction to a sympathomimetic medicine (eg, albuterol, pseudoephedrine), such as fast or irregular heartbeat, overexcitement, or severe trouble sleeping
- if you are taking an oral corticosteroid (eg, prednisone) or an inhaled corticosteroid (eg, fluticasone)
- if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) or tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline), or if you have taken either of these medicines within the last 14 days
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Advair Diskus Powder. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide) or other long-acting inhaled bronchodilators (eg, salmeterol inhalation powder, formoterol inhalation powder ) because the risk of low blood potassium or irregular heartbeat may be increased
- Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because they may decrease Advair Diskus Powder's effectiveness
- Azole antifungals (eg, fluconazole), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, entacapone), delavirdine, linezolid, macrolide antibiotics (eg, clarithromycin), MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), nefazodone, protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, boceprevir, indinavir, ritonavir), short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilators (eg, albuterol), telithromycin, or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Advair Diskus Powder's side effects
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Advair Diskus Powder may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Advair Diskus Powder:
Use Advair Diskus Powder as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Advair Diskus Powder comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Advair Diskus Powder refilled.
- Always activate and use this device in a level, horizontal position. Do NOT try to use a spacer device with Advair Diskus Powder.
- Hold the device in one hand and put the thumb of your other hand on the thumb grip. Push your thumb away from you as far as it will go until the mouthpiece appears and snaps into position.
- Hold the device in a level, flat position with the mouthpiece toward you. Slide the lever away from you as far as it will go until it clicks.
- Do NOT close or tilt the device, play with the lever, or move the lever more than 1 time. This may release or waste extra doses.
- Hold the device away from your mouth and breathe out fully. Do NOT breathe into the inhaler. Put the mouthpiece to your lips. Breathe in quickly and deeply through the device.
- Remove the device from your mouth. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or as long as is comfortable. Then breathe out slowly.
- Close the device. Put your thumb on the thumb grip and slide it back toward you as far as it will go. The device will click shut and the lever will return to its original position.
- Your dose of medicine is a very fine powder. Most, but not all, patients can taste or feel the dose. Do NOT use another dose if you do not taste or feel the medicine. If you are not sure if you are receiving your dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
- Rinse your mouth with water after using Advair Diskus Powder. DO NOT swallow the rinse solution. Spit the rinse water out.
- If you are using other inhaled medicines, wait a few minutes between using Advair Diskus Powder and other inhalers, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
- Take your doses of Advair Diskus Powder about 12 hours apart, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
- Never wash the mouthpiece or any other part of the inhaler. Keep it dry. Store Advair Diskus Powder in a dry place.
- Throw Advair Diskus Powder away 1 month after you remove it from the foil pouch, or after the dose indicator reads "0," whichever comes first.
- You may breathe more easily after the first dose of Advair Diskus Powder. However, it may take 1 week or longer to achieve the most benefit.

Important safety information:
- Advair Diskus Powder may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Advair Diskus Powder with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Advair Diskus Powder will not stop an asthma attack once one has started. Be sure to carry a short-acting bronchodilator inhaler (eg, albuterol) with you at all times to treat any breathing problems that may occur between doses of Advair Diskus Powder (eg, severe or sudden onset of wheezing or shortness of breath). If you have any questions about which medicines stop asthma attacks, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- If you have been regularly using a short-acting bronchodilator inhaler, talk with your doctor about how to use it with Advair Diskus Powder. Short-acting bronchodilators are normally only used with Advair Diskus Powder to treat breathing problems that may occur between doses.
- Advair Diskus Powder should be used to treat asthma only if your asthma is not well controlled while you are using a certain long-term asthma-control medicine (eg, inhaled corticosteroid) or if you have severe asthma. Contact your doctor if you have questions about this information.
- Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about all of your asthma medicines and how to use them. Your doctor may make changes to your asthma-control medicines once your asthma is well controlled. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any asthma medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
- If your symptoms do not get better within 1 week or if they get worse after you start using Advair Diskus Powder, check with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Advair Diskus Powder before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Tell your doctor at once if you notice your short-acting bronchodilator inhaler does not work as well, if you need to use it more often (eg, more than 4 times a day for more than 2 days in a row, or 1 whole canister within 8 weeks' time), or if you have a decrease in your peak meter flow results.
- The risk of serious heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat) may be greater if you use Advair Diskus Powder in high doses. Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Advair Diskus Powder may sometimes causes severe breathing problems right after you use a dose. If this happens, use your short-acting bronchodilator inhaler. Seek medical care at once if your breathing does not improve after you use the short-acting bronchodilator. Tell your doctor about this reaction.
- Use caution if you switch from an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) to Advair Diskus Powder. It may take several months for your body to make enough natural steroids to handle events that cause physical stress. Such events may include injury, surgery, infection, a sudden asthma attack, or severe fluid or electrolyte loss. These may be severe and sometimes fatal. Contact your doctor right away if any of these events occur. You may need to take an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) again. Carry a card at all times that says you may need an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) if any of these events occur.

Proper Use of Advicor
Before prescribing medicine for your condition, your doctor will probably try to control your condition by prescribing a personal diet for you. Such a diet may be low in fats, particularly saturated fat, sugars, and/or cholesterol. Many people are able to control their condition by carefully following their doctor's orders for proper diet and exercise. Medicine is prescribed only when additional help is needed and is effective only when a schedule of diet and exercise is properly followed.
Make certain your doctor knows if you are on any special diet, such as a low-sodium or low-sugar diet.
Use this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more or less of it, and do not use it more often or for a longer time than your doctor ordered. Also, this medicine works best if there is a constant amount in the blood. To help keep this amount constant, do not miss any doses and take the medicine at the same time each day.
Remember that this medicine will not cure your condition but it does help control it. Therefore, you must continue to take it as directed to keep your cholesterol levels down.
Follow carefully the special diet your doctor gave you.This is an important part of controlling your condition, and is necessary if the medicine is to work properly.
Do not drink any grapefruit juice around the time you take this medicine. It may be best to drink any grapefruit juice approximately 12 hours before or after you take your medicine. In addition, do not drink grapefruit juice in large quantities (more than one quart per day) while you are being treated with niacin extended-release and lovastatin combination. To do so may increase the risk of developing muscle problems. Check with your doctor if you have any questions.
Take this medicine at bedtime after eating a low fat snack. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet before you swallow it.
This medicine may cause you to have skin flushing which makes your face, neck, arms and occasionally, your upper chest to feel warm and look red. Flushing usually starts about two to four hours after you take your medicine, and may last up to several hours. Flushing can also cause itching and/or a tingling sensation. A more intense episode of flushing may include dizziness or faintness. If you take your medicine at bedtime, you may sleep through any flushing that occurs. If awakened by flushing, rise slowly to minimize the potential for dizziness or fainting. Avoiding alcohol or hot drinks may reduce the flushing. This effect should lessen after several weeks as your body gets used to the medicine. However, if the problem continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.
Dosing
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
- Adults—The starting dose is usually, 500 milligrams (mg) of niacin extended-release and 20 mg of lovastatin (combined in one tablet) one time a day, at bedtime with a low fat snack. Then your doctor may increase your dose a little at a time every 4 weeks, as your body gets used to the medicine, until your cholesterol is controlled.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
