I've been on it for about 4 months. It does seem to help but I've had problems with steriods (prednisone) taken as a result of colitis. In the case of Advair I get the hoarse voice and sleeplessness. I'm also concerned about the long term use of this drug on my lungs. It is a steroid. I have diffuctly in breathing, especially taking a deep breath. Does anyone know of any studies on how safe Advair is for your lungs or the rest of your body.We have had very bad experiences with Steroids. my 17 year old son needed a hip replacement as a result of steroids (not Advair) this summer. BEWARE OF STEROIDS. lets find out about Advair. Does it have any adverse steroid Affects?? please let me know. Thank you Peter W ******
