Answers:
Life-threatening side effects should appear within a few hours of taking your medication. When I was on Advair, I had some mild, annoying side effects. There is an information sheet that came with your Advair. Please make yourself familiar with it.
The warning that Advair may cause trouble breathing is mostly when people use it wrong. Advair should NEVER be used during an asthma attack, as it takes about a half hour to start working. An Albuterol rescue inhaler would start working within 5 minutes and that's why it's used that way.
When drugs are released for sale to the public, a lot of studies are done beforehand. This is to establish knowledge about drug safety. Can Advair cause seizures? Maybe, but I haven't seen it happen. It could cause someone somewhere to have a seizure. Possible side effects are just that. If the drug was causing many life-threatening side effects, it wouldn't be on the market any more. The thing you must always remember is that Advair is to never be used during an asthma attack. It just doesn't work for that.
Rinsing and gargling your mouth after taking Advair is important to prevent a fungal infection in your mouth. Don't swallow the water you gargled with either, it can upset your stomach.
What are the possible side effects of Advair?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
*
bronchospasm (wheezing, chest tightness, trouble breathing);
*
chest pain, fast or uneven heart beats, restless feeling, tremor;
*
white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips; or
*
worsening asthma symptoms.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur, such as:
*
headache, dizziness;
*
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
*
dryness in your mouth, nose, or throat;
*
stuffy nose, sinus pain, cough, sore throat; or
*
hoarseness or deepened voice.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
What other drugs will affect Advair?
Before using Advair, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:
*
amiodarone (Cordarone);
*
a diuretic or "water pill";
*
HIV medicines such as ritonavir (Norvir), indinavir (Crixivan), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), nelfinavir (Viracept);
*
an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), or selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam);
*
antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), desipramine (Norpramin), or imipramine (Tofranil);
*
certain antibiotics such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E-Mycin, Ery-Tab, E.E.S.); or
*
medicines for depression such as fluoxetine (Prozac), or fluvoxamine (Luvox).
If you are using any of these drugs, you may not be able to use Advair, or you may need dosage adjustments or special tests during treatment.
There may be other drugs not listed that can affect Advair. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.
It depends on everybodies body. Everyone is different and there can be no definite time. ALthough, with oral pills there might be a little delay like a couple hours (1-3 hours) because the oral pill takes time to be absorbed into the bloodstream. A liquid solution would cause a slightly faster uptake into the bloodstream so the side effect would be experienced faster. An IV medication would yield an extremely quick response to the drug and the person would experience the side effects much faster (like 10-30 minutes). I believe that a woman absorbs an oral pill much faster than a man because her body is structurally smaller and the time it takes to reach the bloodstream is decreased (meaning that when the pill enters the bloodstream, the side effects might start occurring then because that is where the pill has its effect.
Most likely i would give the side effects about 1-4 hours to occur). But it also depends on the drug and if it is controlled/extended release (which mean that it has a slower and it cannot be chewed). I recommend that you find out from the people who create the drug about the time it takes for the drug to be activated and deactivated by the liver (aka bioactivation) because if the drug is not deactivated by the liver then the side effects would not stop because there is nothing to remove the drug from the bloodstream.
