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

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG! IT"S LETHAL> I was on Advair 500/50 for 2years to control my severe asthma, which it did and for about 6months I felt great, but at what a price?....Chronic Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Teeth Breaking, Bone Density Issues, severe hair loss, most awful leg cramps, dizziness, shortness of breath, night sweats, anxiety and chest pains. I suspected that Advair was too blame, came across this site and it all just clicked!. I immediately quit Advair cold turkey in March this year. In May during my annual physical I had an abnormal EKG and a murmur was noticed (for the 1st time in 20years). My primary care physician of 25years was as baffled as I was,.I had a perfect EKG the year before. She referred me to a cardiologist and he did a battery of tests (EKG, echocardiogram and stress test with contrast).The echocardiogram came back as abnormal with mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation. Is it coincidental that some of the side effects triggered by Advair such as Chest Pain, dizziness, heart palpitations is also the common symptoms of heart valve issues? I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but my common sense tells me that this drug is the culprit.

I could run 10miles a day, work 10hours a day and take care of 4year old. 3months ago before quitting Advair, I felt like a 83year old with advance heart failure. I'm finding my way back to almost feeling and looking my old self again minus less hair, broken teeth and a not so perfect ticker, courtesy of GSK and Advair.
