Asthma/COPD ~ What Medications Are You Taking?

Well, after my pulmonologist appt today, my advair got upped to the 500/50.  I also have an albuterol inhaler if I need it.  I also keep a prescription of prednisone at home if the albuterol doesn't help.  Going to the ER with an asthma attack is no fun!  I'm hoping the new level of advair will help to prevent this from happening again.

Hi,

I take the Advair 250/50 twice a day, Singulair daily, Combivent and Alburterol inhalers as needed. When it is bad Doc will give me breathing treatments, steriod shot and/or Prednisone.

Hope you feel better,
Tee

Oh!  I forgot that I take singular too for Asthma.  I do take that daily too.  I think that's it...now I'm not sure. 

No, I don't have a home nebulizer.  My uncle did suggest getting one.  I may talk to my doc about this when I see him next month.  I want to see how well the 500/50 works.

Hiya, Lil! :)

An at home nebulizer is something that someone like yourself could probably use! - if you have mod. to severe asthma and can't get into your Dr. right away, or have a problem in the middle of the night? I can't tell you how many times, it saved me from the ER. Let me know what happens!!

Hugs, Teri :)

I was just recently started on Advair 250/50 and I have albuterol as needed. I was on Flovent but it actually made my asthma worse. So far the advair has worked great!!

I have cough variant asthma and I take Symbicort 160/4.5, Protonix, ZyfloCR, Zyrtec, Flonase, and albuterol as needed (both in inhaler and in my nebulizer). I used to be on Advair 500/50 but was switched to Symbicort on the chance that the mist would get to my lungs better than the dry powder.

I also have been on a prednisone taper three times this year following flareups. Two of the flares were due to respiratory infections. One was due to heat exposure that resulted in a trip to the ER. Now that the weather has changed I'm feeling a lot better.
