Advair HFA and constipation

My daughter was taking a puff of advair every morning and evening. She has been experiencing fatigue, headache, constipation and urine retention. I've cut her back to one puff a day and will talk to her allergist in the morning.
Thanks, website, for helping me to realize that what is supposed to be helping her may actually be poisening her.

I was prescribed 250/50 Advair, twice a day. Within several days it was noticably helping my breathing. Right away the side effects I had were a dry, raspy throat and hoarseness, which I could live with. Then I got continual sores on my mouth and tongue dispite rinsing after the Advair. I was still thinking I could live with that since I was breathing so much better. I had a lot of indigestion and was constipated, which I was still thinking I could probably live with. BUT after about 2 months of taking the Advair I was noticing a lot of joint pain; most noticable in my fingers, thumbs, wrists and hip. That scared me so I started researching the harder to find effects of taking Advair. I finally decided the cure wasn't worth the unknown damage it was inflicting on my body, so I quit taking it. I just stopped - no bad side effects from stopping it abrubtly, and the joint pain decreased pretty fast. I've been off it for about a month now; can't breathe as well but my fingers and wrists and hips don't hurt anymore and the sores in my mouth have gone away as well as the heartburn and constipation. I think it's a pretty scary drug that's prescribed way too frequently and way too fast without enough research.

I have been on Advair since it first came out and am so glad I found this site!! I have so many of the symptoms listed here. I thought I was falling apart. At first, I felt so much better taking Advair than Pulmacort. Then, I started getting terrible stomach pain, diarhea, constipation, gas and bloating. I have awful abdominal and breast swelling, breast itching, and menstrual cramps. I have fibromyalgia, but wonder if the Advair has not made things worse. My left hip and leg absolutely kill most of the time. Funny thing is my sister had all the same symptoms after starting on Advair. I do believe that the manufacturer must be aware of these side effects and fear that, like Vioxx, it'll go unchallenged. I am contacting my doctor to get off this medication. I look back over the last 3-4 years of such a decline in my health status and wonder if this all leads back to Advair.
