I've always had problems with leg cramps but now, since I've star...

wow, this website is great, I have been on advair 250/50 for 6 months, the last 3 I have had horrible cramps in my back and legs, the left side has been so bad I have been out of work for 3 weeks, my ct scan and nerve tests were normal, I guess this stuff is garbage, thanks

me too! i've had severe muscle cramps in my legs and back, along with general muscle tenderness. i'm just exhausted. i reported these symptoms to my doctor and he ignored me. impossible he said. thanks for posting on this site. it makes me feel better to know it's not "in my head."

I too get cramps. It started soon after I began taking Advair for my asthma. The asthma is better, however the cramps occur wherever I use a muscle to 30+ strength and am holding that muscle for a time, sufficient to cause the cramping. Usually 5 to 10 seconds. Sometimes, when in bed and I rotate my ankle to crack it, My calf muscle cramps. To stop it I have to stand up. Sometimes, it is so bad, I walk to get rid of the cramp. The cramp usually subsides immediately when I walk. If the cramp is allowed to cramp more, well, that is a very bad idea. Get up right away. It is very disturbing, especially when your GP says that it isn't the Advair. My allergy doctor said that it is a side affect of using Advair. Cramps have occured regularly in my hands, arms, neck, back, butt, legs, and toes. I'm still taking Advair until something else is prescribed.
