I am absolutely relieved to find this website and all these side-effects you won't readily find on www.advair.com. A couple months ago I went to see a pulmonary specialist after having recurrent bronchitis for the last 4 years. He prescribed a nasal spray (I don't have the name in front of me..) to take for one month, and gave me a 28-dose Advair Diskus 250/50 with the instruction that I should start taking it IF I feel symptoms of bronchitis coming on and then take 2 puffs/day. On 01/15/04 I started taking Advair (today is 01/28/04) and either yesterday or the day before I felt I had to blow my nose and when I did, the tissue was covered with blood. Since then I've had 3 or 4 more nosebleeds. (Before Advair I think I've had maybe 5 nosebleeds in my whole life.) I called Advair's "if you experience problems.."-number (888.825.5249) and they told me that either 3 or 4% of people in clinical trials experienced nosebleeds / epistaxis. Right now I'm awaiting my doctor's recommendation as to whether the benefits outweigh the side-effects. I've also felt tightness in my legs and my skin has felt very dry the last few days. So depending on what my doctor tells me this afternoon, I think I'm done with Diskus.
