Can anyone tell me if one has suffered hair loss by taking Advair? I have been on the drug for about three years with some mild side effects but I just staring losing a great amount of hair. I had very thick long hair last year and now it does not even fit in a ponytail. Anyone have a similar story?

I was on Advair for 3 years (Stopped taking it July 2007) , and right after I discontinued the drug, I began losing a great deal of hair. I have lost well over a third of it within the past 8 months. I have seen several Dr.s (including a Dermatologist that specializes in hair loss) and noone seems to be able to give me an answer as to why... I keep feeling that I am going to be bald soon, and I have been researching causes for months to no avail.
Well, I'm not sure if the Advair had anything to do with it, but the timing is right.

Well I have been taking ADVAIR for the past two years. I used to have very thick hair not no more its still somewhat thick but not like before. U actually thought that it could maybe be caused from the Advair. Iam now convinced after reading all the side affects and hair loss being one of them. Iam not going to take it anymore. Hopefully my hair will grow back and stop falling out.
