Advair Inhaler

Advair is an Asthma medication that uses an inhaler.

An inhaler is a medical device used for delivering medication (in this case, Advair), into the body via the lungs.

DID YOU KNOW?
The popular asthma drug Advair (salmeterol xinafoate inhalation powder), "… may increase the chance of severe asthma episodes, and death when those episodes occur," according to a warning issued by the FDA in November of 2005.

Medication is most commonly stored in solution in a pressurized canister.

The Advair canister is attached to a plastic, hand-operated pump.

The standard Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) on activating releases a fixed dose of Adviar in aerosol form.

The correct procedure for using a MDI is to first fully exhale, place the mouth-piece end of the pump into the mouth, and having just started to inhale then depresses the canister to release the medicine.

The aerosolized medicine is drawn into the lungs by continuing to inhale deeply before holding the breath for 10 seconds to allow absorption into the bronchial walls.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting new Advair cases.
