Learn More about Advair Diskus

Advair Diskus is a medicine prescribed for individuals suffering from asthma and COPD.

According to the FDA warning in November of 2005, Advair "… may increase the chance of severe asthma episodes, and death when those episodes occur,".

Rather than being a single drug, Advair is actually a combination of two drugs.

Or if you have an Advair legal concern, contact Weitz & Luxenberg today by filling out this simple form.

The first drug is fluticasone propionate (Flovent) and the second drug is Serevent; with this combination of drugs the medicine Advair is formed.

Advair is available in 3 dosage forms. The smallest dosage is 100/50, the intermediate dosage is 250/50 and the highest dosage is 500/50.

The first number in the dosage description is how many micrograms of fluticasone propionate and the second number how many micrograms of salmeterol is in that formulation of Advair.

The container that holds and dispenses Advair is a purple disk-shaped container (a "Diskus") about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) across and about 1 inch thick (2.5 cm).

The Aviar diskus container holds small pellets of the drug combination, which are crushed on a dose-per-dose basis into a fine powder utilizing an internal mechanism activated by pressing a small lever on the side of the container.

The powder is then inhaled directly into the lungs through a mouthpiece.

Advair is manufactured and distributed by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting new Advair cases.
