I am a 37 yr old while female - I have been on Advair for about the last
5/6 years - I dont have any of the symtoms that everyone has stated
above - but I have something that nobody else has seemed to mention.
Before I started using Advair - I had perfect teeth - no cavitites no nothing.
After years of using Advair - I now have Tooth Enamel Loss on my bottom
front teeth - they are not decaying at all but the lower half of each tooth
has lost its tooth enamel and shows the yellowish Dentin layer. I use my
Advair 250/50 once a day and rinse my mouth with water as well as
mouth wash and brushing after each dose - but yet it is still destroyin
my teeth. I have contacted the maker of Advair in regards to this and get
no response what so ever - so should my next step be to contact a lawyer?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Was out riding my horse and was thrown off and broke my front tooth, and it became infected, so my sister gave me some Levaquin. I taken it before for the same tooth but this time it was worst, pains in both knees, sick to my stomach, diarrhea, sore joints, and my heart rate was skipping and very fast at times. I had these systems before but never connected it with Levaquin before. But now looking back, every time I had these systems I was on Levaquin. I will never take this drug again!

I took reglan in 1990 for the treatment of escophagitis (sorry if spelling is wrong). Had severe life threatening reaction (acute dystonic) and was rushed to hospital. Basically, it started the day after taking it. My face was stuck in a permanent Joker-like smile and it was painful. Thought I was going nuts, I was only 18 at the time, and then took another pill as prescribed. Later, my face stuck in an open mouth gaze position, I could not shut my mouth, it would spring right back open. Then, I lost my speech and spoke like a baby. At that point, my parents realized there was something seriously wrong (they had previously thought it was just me being nervous or something) and called the doctor. I was rushed to the hospital, and on the way I couldn't breathe. My bottom jaw shifted to the right, and my top jaw shifted to the left, and the pain was excruciating. I chipped my front tooth right off. My face was all twisted.
This went away after I was given Benadryl in the ER but I then developed the facial tic associated with Reglan, on the left side of my face. I am 36 years old now and a trial lawyer and singer who is always in the public eye. Luckily, the twitch is slight and only affects my left side, and mostly when I speak because it involves muscle movement. I was prescribed this drug 14 years before it was approved by the FDA. I would tell everyone I know never to take this drug, not even once. Its so dangerous and if I knew of the side effects I would have ever agreed to take it. Its very, very embarrassing to have this twitch. No one ever told me how dangerous this drug was. Hope this post may help someone. Thanks for reading.
